Sr. System Dev Engineer, Antenna System Validation

Overview In this role you will own embedded firmware for RF and digital subsystems on satellite and ground test hardware, from bring-up to production. You will work at the hardware/software boundary, writing drivers and control software for SoCs, FPGAs, and RFICs, and collaborate with hardware, RF, and test teams to deliver reliable systems at scale. The position focuses on building robust firmware, diagnostics, and testing capabilities to enable mission-critical communications. This is a hands-on role at the heart of hardware-enabled software for a high-impact satellite broadband program.
