Wireless Engineer Opportunity Elveo is developing cellular-based space payloads and seeks a Wireless Engineer to design and implement air interfaces for Elveo's satellite-direct-to-phone services. This role involves developing DSP, optimizing the physical layer procedures, and implementing custom resource scheduling algorithms. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in wireless communications, signal processing, and RAN development to drive innovation in next-generation satellite-based mobile networks.
Core responsibilities include:
Design and implement physical - PHY and medium access control - MAC layer algorithms and procedures for satellite communication links.
Develop baseband modems on software defined radio - SDR platforms.
Evaluate the performance of algorithms in simulation and on the target platform.
Develop test software and drivers to support unit, integration, and system testing of all base station software functions.
Perform link budget analysis of LTE and 5G system between satellite and UEs.
Work with other team members to benchmark payload software applications.
Qualifications include:- A Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- Deep understanding of communication theory and signal processing related algorithms design, such as filter design, clock recovery, signal detection, channel estimation and equalization, channel coding, MIMO.Strong knowledge of software defined radios - SDRs and their implementation.
- Strong knowledge of the 3GPP standards, including LTE and 5G PHY, MAC, and RRC specifications.
- Hands-on experience in lab testing & characterization.
- Experience with MATLAB, Python, C or C++ for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation.
- Experience using test equipment like signal generators, spectrum analyzers, etc.
- Experience with implementing DSP algorithms in HDL, such as System
- Verilog, VHDL is a plus.
