You will have hands-on experience with Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) techniques and a strong understanding of modern antenna technologies, including active and phased array systems. This includes digital beamforming, rapid beam hopping, and antenna performance modelling. The role operates within a systems engineering framework, requiring familiarity with requirements management and the full lifecycle from concept through verification. Key Responsibilities Analyze and review RF link budgets, conduct system-level trade studies, and model signal impairments to evaluate overall communications performance. Collaborate closely with system architects, RF, antenna, and earth station engineers to allocate functionality between hardware and software while optimizing system performance. Develop and maintain high-level requirements and specifications for RF links, RF subsystems, and antenna systems, including managing requirement updates as designs evolve. Define, review, and assess test plans, procedures, and results to verify compliance with system specifications. Perform system performance characterization and analysis, maintaining detailed performance budgets for assigned system elements. Provide technical expertise in support of regulatory, spectrum coordination, and market access activities. Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical resource for team members with developing domain expertise. Prepare and deliver technical presentations to internal and external engineering audiences as required. Education and Experience Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, with a focus on RF, antenna and microwave engineering, digital communications, or digital signal processing. Minimum of 10 years of relevant experience performing system-level RF or satellite communications engineering. Proven experience with digital communication systems, including spread-spectrum and single- and multi-carrier architectures. Strong background in modulation schemes such as PSK, APSK, and QAM. Direct experience with DVB-S2X, DVB-RCS2, and Adaptive Coding and Modulation techniques. Demonstrated capability in modelling RF communication systems using advanced tools such as MATLAB, Python, or equivalent environments. Skills and Competencies Strong collaborator who performs effectively in cross-functional engineering teams. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. High standards for technical quality, accuracy, and documentation. Capable of managing multiple complex technical challenges concurrently. Salary Range – $110,000 – $140,000 #J-18808-Ljbffr
