Job Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled Senior Air Interface and RF Engineer to join our team and play a critical role in the development of our future communications systems.

This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact within an organization that values growth, teamwork, and professional development.

Who You Are:

You have a solid understanding of communications theory (modulation, coding, frequency and time synchronization, etc.) and have applied this by tinkering with modem software or hardware and tweaking various processes in the lower layers of a protocol stack.

What You'll Do:

Work with suppliers on the adaptation of existing air interfaces to our specific needs on future systems. Model the impact of RF impairments and physical layer protocols on our end-to-end communications systems. Dig into the details of our already deployed physical layers and understand where there is room for improvement.

What You'll Need:

• A degree with some component of communications theory (e.g. digital signal processing, modem design, RF / Microwave component design, etc.)
• A solid grasp of at least one programming language used for computational science (e.g. Python with appropriate packages, MATLAB, Julia, etc.)
• A few years' experience working on deployed wireless comms systems (e.g. terrestrial cell phone networks, sat comms systems, point-to-point radios, etc.)
