Prime Purpose

• In this role, you will be responsible for the definition, design & development of the next-generation satellite user terminals based on active phased array technology, both the software and interface with hardware, from concept, design, implementation, to testing & validation.

Responsibilities

• Define, design & develop software and firmware of phased-array user terminals, embedded processors, and/or DSP for novel satcom user terminals
• Create real-time algorithm for single and multi-beamforming operations on various antenna subsystem architectures with considerations for memories, I/O pads, and interfaces
• Define, design and develop hardware and software for the operation of the phased array based user terminals and specified ICD, including message handling, message tracking, antenna gain reporting, antenna pointing and tracking, sensor reporting, transceiver tuning and monitoring, etc.
• Create comprehensive verification/test plans
• Tests and validates to ensure designs meet operational and functional requirements
• Perform antenna subsystems bring-up, debug, and validation of designs to achieve functional and performance goals
• Document design, test, debug and validation details in development cycles
• Coordinate software development and implementation among several hardware and module suppliers
• Develop test plans and test software in Python or other high-level languages for verification of antenna and user terminal operations
• Develop software test automation algorithm for screening and calibration of phased array panels for production lines and support factory troubleshooting
• Work with other team members and customers to perform integration and product test

Qualifications
