As an RF and Mixed Signal Design Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary team to conceive and design innovative product solutions. You will work closely with colleagues throughout Project Kuiper’s inter-disciplinary team, and engage third party suppliers, in order to drive key aspects of product definition, execution and optimization. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Key job responsibilities
As a member of the team, you will be responsible for implementation of hardware for use in both space and ground systems.

In this role you will:
• Work with EE team to design and deliver mixed signal and RF subsystems.
• Perform frequency planning using high speed ADC and DAC transceivers to accomplish mission objectives.
• Work with RF system, hardware, modem, and software teams to design and deliver mixed signal and RF subsystems.
• Have understanding of OSI protocol stack and amiliarity with wide-band modulation schemes like OFDM.
• Program in Linux to characterize and bring up the system.
• Specify, design, and build up test bench for RF design verification.
• Evaluate and optimize RF design in the lab to demonstrate design meets with system requirements.
• Work with RF system, power, software, mechanical engineering, baseband and compliance teams to ensure solution integrates with overall system objectives.
• Troubleshoot integrated hardware/software issues with modem and RF mixed signal frontend data converters.

A day in the life
As a Sr. Mixed signal RF Engineer you will work in a multi-disciplinary environment to design and deliver hardware for space. This requires the ability to work from concept to production. Candidates must be comfortable to work in the lab to debug and verify their designs.


About the team
