Satellite Engineer - Motive Companies

The Satellite Integration Field Engineer designs, implements and tests various configurations between RF, Satellite and IT environments. This environment is research and development so the configuration change rapidly to gather critical information for system design, performance, security and resiliency. Candidate will work in a cross functional environment with engineers from RAN, Satellite and Security disciplines. Ability to problem solve in 'new environments' and configurations that are new or not industry standard. This is a fast-moving environment where tenacity and entrepreneurial mindset is essential. 

This position requires contributing to shared knowledge, documentation, training of peers and other stakeholders, and will require setup and testing in lab and field environments. Multiple configurations may be setup simultaneously for research and development.

The ideal candidate will have a background in various satellite technologies (Ka, Ku, MEO, LEO), specifically experience in equipment configuration, troubleshooting and testing. The critical nature of the work requires good judgment, initiative and specialized technical expertise to understand problems and develop recommended solutions. This role must be comfortable working both as part of a team, and independently as a remote resource. Prior experience working in a remote/virtual team is a plus.
