Electrical Engineering (2)

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

As a Senior Wireless and Algorithm Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing algorithms for silicon to be used in wireless communication systems within our LEO satellite constellation. This role is critical for ensuring the efficient and reliable transmission of data in advanced satellite communication networks. You will leverage your deep expertise in algorithm design, wireless communication theory, and signal processing to create innovative solutions that meet rigorous performance standards.

This position will report to the Sr. Director of Product and System Integration, Silicon, and will work closely with systems, software, hardware, and test teams responsible for delivering the communications payload. This position is based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you will be doing:

Algorithm Design and Development:
Lead the design and development of advanced algorithms for wireless communication systems specially on beamforming and time and frequency synchronizations
Develop and implement algorithms for modulation, coding, synchronization, channel estimation, and beamforming
Perform simulations and analyses to evaluate the performance of the designed algorithms
System Integration and Testing:
Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate the designed algorithms into the overall communication system for silicon development
Develop and execute test plans to validate algorithm performance on FPGA and ASIC under various conditions
Analyze test data to identify performance bottlenecks and refine algorithms as needed
Performance Optimization:
Optimize algorithms to meet or exceed specified performance requirements
Implement techniques to mitigate the impact of physical layer impairments
Continuously improve algorithms based on the latest advancements in wireless communication and signal processing
Documentation and Reporting:
Document all design, development, and testing processes, including test results and performance evaluations
Prepare technical reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders
Stay updated with the latest advancements in wireless communication technologies and incorporate relevant innovations into the design process
Collaboration and Support:
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including system architects, hardware engineers, and software developers
Provide technical support and expertise during system integration and field trials
Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and provide constructive feedback

What you bring to this role:

Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field
10+ years of experience in algorithm design and wireless communication systems
Strong background in communication theory, digital signal processing, and wireless communication systems.
Proficiency in simulation and modeling tools such as MATLAB, SystemC, Simulink, or equivalent
Experience in designing and developing algorithms for wireless communication systems, including beamforming
Familiarity with satellite communication systems, particularly LEO networks
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently as well as in a team environment
Strong analytical and communication skills. Team player.

Bonus points for the following:

Strong knowledge of 3GPP standards, preferably 5GNR
Experience with hardware implementation and testing of communication systems
Familiarity with software-defined radio (SDR) platforms and tools
Strong programming skills in languages such as C/C++, Python, or VHDL/Verilog

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $100,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.

E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
