Senior Staff SATCOM Systems Engineer

Job Description We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Staff SATCOM Algorithm Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and integration of next-generation satellite communication modem systems and signal processing solutions. This role focuses on defining system-level requirements, developing advanced SATCOM algorithms and waveforms, and guiding FPGA-based modem implementations from concept through integration and testing. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in satellite communications systems engineering, including signal processing, DVB‑S2X and related waveforms, and hands‑on experience with VHDL design and FPGA-based architectures. This individual will collaborate closely with cross‑functional engineering teams to ensure seamless subsystem integration, leverage simulation tools such as MATLAB, and support high‑performance communications solutions across ground‑based SATCOM platforms. Strong leadership, technical communication, and the ability to drive complex system development in a lab‑based environment are essential for success in this role. Additional Responsibilities Architect, design, develop and integrate ground‑based satellite modem systems, including: High level architecture and requirements definition Support FPGA‑based modem implementation Includes VHDL design and implementation of satellite communications waveforms and related signal processing algorithms Support/lead integration of communications subsystems. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
