    Description

    We're looking for a Senior System Engineer to lead end to end system definition, integration, and validation of satellite communication (SATCOM) solutions within our radio development portfolio

    You'll translate operational needs into robust architecture, requirements, and interfaces; orchestrate multi disciplinary trade offs across RF, modem, embedded SW/FW, networking, and mechanical domains

    and drive lab/field integration toward production readiness

    What you'll do

    Own system engineering across the lifecycle-CONOPS, use cases, requirements, ICDs, architecture, and design reviews, through integration, verification, and qualification

    Collaborate across disciplines (RF, software, networking, cyber, mechanical, etc.) and with product/program teams to balance performance, cost, schedule, and risk

    Author SE deliverables: system specs, ICDs, test plans/procedures, acceptance criteria, user/ops considerations, and contribution to certification/qualification documentation

    Plan and manage lab and field trials: bring up, integration, performance & environmental testing; analyze results and drive corrective actions through cross functional teams

    What you'll bring

    Deep SATCOM expertise (GEO/MEO/LEO concepts, terminals vs. hubs, antennas/pointing & tracking, modem/waveform fundamentals, link budgets, BER/EB/N0, availability)

    Proven system engineering experience delivering complex, multi disciplinary communication systems from early concept through integration and acceptance

    Excellent technical writing and communication skills; comfortable leading reviews and driving decisions across stakeholders

    Hands on with RF & modem/DSP fundamentals (filters, modulations such as QPSK/QAM, FEC, synchronization, timing) and system modeling (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink) - an advantage

    MANET experience (mobile ad hoc routing behaviors in contested, low capacity, high dynamics environments; protocol familiarity such as OLSR/BABEL/DSR; performance trade offs). - an advantage

    Tactical networks & communications knowledge (waveforms, soldier/vehicular/airborne radios, interoperability, voice/data services, LPI/LPD/AJ considerations). - an advantage

    Tooling: MATLAB/Simulink, OPNET (or equivalent), scripting (Python), RF test equipment and automation - an advantage

    Qualifications

    BSc in Electrical/Communications/Computer Engineering (or related)

    MSc is an advantage

    Five years in system engineering for communications systems (satellite and/or tactical radio)

    Eligibility for security clearance

    Only suitable applications will be considered
