You'll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team that thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment, where your work directly advances the design, development, and deployment of satellite constellations that governments and enterprises around the world will depend on for secure, resilient, and sovereign connectivity.\n\nYour Mission on the Team:\n\nIn this role you will be responsible for developing and optimizing software tools that simulate advanced satellite communication constellations in low Earth orbit (LEO). You will also contribute to analyses that model the effectiveness, feasibility, and uncertainty within the Meridian system for both internal and external stakeholders. This includes:\n\nWriting and applying software tools that model constellation performance, utilization, and lifecycles.\nConducting analyses to translate end-to-end Meridian constellation solutions to customers, including modeling global market demand for communication services and constellation support infrastructure (ground stations etc.)\nCollaborating closely in cross-functional teams to understand how design choices impact the expected constellation performance and contribute to decisions on how to optimize this system.\nValidate, optimize, and deploy advanced resource optimization algorithms to solve complex, multi-dimensional telecom constellation design problems such as beam placement and interference mitigation.\nDevelop world-class software using best practices, including CI/CD principles, code reviews, Agile methodologies, and project management tools.\nCommunicate effectively with project management, customers, and team members across disciplines\n\nBasic Qualifications:\n\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, aerospace engineering, mathematics, physics or related field\nExperience with Python for analysis, modeling, simulation, and/or algorithm development (especially NumPy and pandas)\nStrong software engineering skills, including system design, testing, and version control.\nStrong understanding and knowledge of 3D vector geometry and calculus\nAbility to rapidly expand application specific knowledge sets and skills where necessary\nPassion for understanding complexity and finding answers to challenging questions\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\n\n3+ years of related industry experience and/or higher degree (master's degree or PhD) in related field\nExperience architecting and maintaining scalable, extensible software systems.\nExpertise in several of the following areas:\nHigh-Performance Computing (HPC)\nDistributed Computing/Cloud Computing\nGPU Optimization\nAgentic AI\nStatistical Analysis\nExperience with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern DevOps/CI/CD practices.\nDemonstrated success optimizing computationally intensive software for performance and scalability.\nExperience solving complex, multi-dimensional optimization problems.\nExperience working on satcom or other telecommunication systems\nExperience modelling antenna radiation patterns\nExperience working on LEO satellite constellation(s)\nExperience in with LEO spacecraft and/or space mission top level design\n\nITAR Requirements\n\nMeridian is required by the U.S. Government to comply with various space technology export regulations including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
