Educational Qualification:
BE/BTech or ME/MTech/MSc Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related discipline.
Role Description:
Experience working hands-on with communication projects that involve link margin estimation, interference analysis, and satellite communications system design (systems compliant with DVBS2-X and/or CCSDS is a plus).
Responsibilities Duties:
- As a part of Pixxels communications engineering group, you will be responsible for the architecture of the spacecraft communications subsystem.
- Youll be responsible for translating mission requirements into systems and subsystem requirements and component selection as well as subsystem architecture to satisfy these requirements.
- You will be responsible for analytically validating the design for requirements compliance via link margin analysis and any other relevant numerical methods.
- You will work with the mission design team to close the loop on ground station selection, as well as implement VCM (variable coding and modulation) schemes in compliance with the ground station to maximize data throughput.
- Youll take up ownership of the design and set up incoming checks as well as unit tests for all components of the communication subsystem.
- Youll be responsible for qualifying the design by creating a subsystem-level design validation plan (could include testing an RF equivalent model in an anechoic chamber).
Desirable Skills Certifications:
- Experience with python/matlab or any other high-level programming language
- Experience with satellite communications, especially for satellites in the lower-earth orbit (LEO).
- Experience with the ITU licensing process, center frequency selection, and interference analysis.
- Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory and relevant constraints on antenna placements
Candidate Acumen:
A strong desire to work in an unstructured, high-growth, fast-paced start-up environment.
