United Spinal Association Jobs

Description

Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband internet connectivity to un-served and under-served communities around the world. In this role, you will be bringing that vision to life by architecting, developing and testing the communication systems payload software that provides the radio link connectivity between the satellites to customer-terminals and the ground-based internet gateways.

You will develop the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer embedded software of the Kuiper Communication System, which runs on the satellites and on the ground systems (customer terminals and ground gateways). The MAC layer implements the Kuiper air-interface specification and controls our proprietary modems chipsets and inter-working with the radio transceivers and antenna systems. You will work with industry's best communication systems engineering experts as well as the ASIC and hardware engineers deliver this critical MAC software layer.

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

In this role you will drive the design, development, and operation of MAC software and related functional such as packet processing, QoS and dynamic bandwidth management, drivers for proprietary silicon devices and blocks, critical platform layer functions, telemetry, power control and radio resources management, beam steering control, link level encryption/decryption, resiliency and fault tolerance and recovery.

• You will own unique embedded software modules through design, implementation (in C, C++, RUST or other), debugging, integration and testing, in an embedded Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) environment on on multicore SOCs.
