Holt Executive are partnered with a leading Global Satellite and Space leader that provides reliable and secure satellite-delivered voice and high-speed data communications solutions to broadcast, telecommunications, corporate and government customers worldwide. They are now developing a LEO constellation that will revolutionize global broadband connectivity for enterprise.
Our partner is seeking a Systems Engineer with experience in User Terminals/Modems to play a vital role in in the design and development of next-generation satellite user terminals.
The successful Systems Engineer will ensure the successful integration and development of modem architectures within their satellite communication system.
Key Responsibilities for the Systems Engineer:
- Oversee the design, development, and optimization of Modem architecture designs ensuring they meet performance, cost, and reliability targets.
- Drive trade-space discussions in terms of modem performance, with network features and MEF service performance in mind.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (FPGA, RF, Software, Hardware) to ensure that integration of the modem with other terminal components is seamless.
- Developing and implementing signal processing algorithms (including modulation, demodulation, error correction, and data compression).
- Performance analysis, and test reviews of modem designs, including link budget analysis.
- Ensure compliance is met with relevant industry standards (DVB-S2, DVB-RCS, 3GPP).
- Lead the development and testing of prototypes.
- Work with third-party vendors, manufacturers, and a cross-functional engineering and product team to ensure cohesion with the system design.
- Ensure detailed documentation for technical specifications, design guidelines, and test planning.
Key Skills & Experience for the Systems Engineer:
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 6+ years of experience in satellite communication systems, modem design, and ideally FPGA design and signal processing.
- Strong knowledge of digital communication systems, including modulation techniques, error correction methods, and RF systems.
- Proficiency with design and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or similar. Experience with DSP programming is a plus.
- Experience with making trade-offs between performance and cost at the component and the system level.
- Experience with the full lifecycle of hardware and modem designs – from inception, design, production, and fielding.
The successful candidate must be able to work in Canada and obtain Reliability Clearance.
This opportunity offers a hybrid work model with 4 days in the office per week and occasional travel is anticipated.
