DSP Engineer (Communications)

DSP Engineer (Communications)

Array Labs is building a new distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D model of the world.

As a senior RF Systems Engineer on the Communications team, you will have the unique opportunity to shape the design of the first orbital MIMO radar imaging system. In this critical role, you will be collaborating with silicon, antenna, software, and other engineering teams to build cutting-edge solutions from clean-sheet design into full operational deployment in space.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• System-level and link-level design in support of a robust satellite communication and radar imaging system
• Work in close collaboration with ASIC/FPGA, RF/antenna, and software engineers to design and validate silicon-based systems
• Develop floating-point and fixed-point models and run simulations to analyze and validate overall system performance, including modem performance
• Support IC designers with bit-accurate and cycle-accurate vector generation for silicon verification
• Generate spacecraft and consumer equipment system specifications, requirements, and test procedures
• Support silicon bring-up and validation by developing and implementing system test plans
