About The Position

The Senior Modem Engineer role is a DSP & Wireless communication system design role that encompasses conceiving, planning, partnering and executing the waveform designs, protocol stack designs and the analysis, fixed point design, implementation, integration and test for the whole of Logos payload, terminal and ground systems. Hence, a big part of the role is to give definition and meaning to this function in the Logos context, sizing it properly, simplifying it when necessary. This person works with the team leadership in reasoning through implications of various hardware & firmware platform choices and then making the final decisions that would give the best modem & protocol stack outcomes at the fastest program speed. The engineer is responsible for solving problems relating to satellite dynamics across all modem states across a wide range of payloads. The Modem engineer should be prepared to work and thrive in a fast moving environment where you are comfortable taking vague ideas and turning them into solutions. We are seeking engineers who like to solve very hard problems!
