You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:
  • Work within a project team and take responsibility for a high-bandwidth, low-Earth orbit communications satellite constellation software.
  • Deep-dive into component and subsystem designs to document expectations, evaluate tests, remedy test failures, and provide quick feedback to improve performance.
  • Collaborate with diverse technical teams such as software, mechanical, modem, and compliance teams to devise testbed configurations, define test criteria, review and refine system-level specifications, and provide feedback on feature implementations.
  • Integrate unit-level and end-to-end RF communications system hardware and software.
  • Define test plans and procedures for lab and RF chamber testing of integrated hardware/software devices.
  • Support on-orbit payload verification and testing.
  • Analyze and mitigate potential software/resource conflicts across system devices.
  • Implement, validate, and optimize RF lab set-ups composed of antennae, measurement equipment, and prototype equipment. Analyze RF link budget/line-up for test set-ups and for the deployed systems.
  • Configure test equipment for automated operation: satellite link emulator, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, etc.
  • Meet with suppliers to select enabling lab technologies.
  • Interpret test results, troubleshoot issues, perform root-cause analysis for any test failures.
  • Document test results, test coverage, and other KPI metrics. Communicate status and issues effectively with developers and managers.
