Responsibilities:

• Define next generation payload computer product requirements and conduct meticulous trade-offs
• Design complex high-speed digital/analogue circuit boards from datasheet to completion for pre-production prototypes
• Alongside the development teams, continue to contribute to problem solving with alternatives and feasibility studies
• Procure and integrate evaluation modules and reference designs to complete a proof-of-concept operation of the platform
• Design and build adaptation and break-out boards to create demonstration platforms as a stepping stone to full product development
• Work with the software development teams to verify processing performance and memory bandwidth for the communications protocol stacks
• Collaborate closely with international satellite development teams, including RF, Electrical, Mechanical, and Product teams
• Conduct research in innovative communications systems architectures aligned with the evolving needs of the satellite network
