ppWe are hiring a hands‑on engineer to own satellite communications as an end‑to‑end mission system. You will be responsible for making sure commands, telemetry, and mission data move reliably through the full communications chain: from operator interfaces, through ground infrastructure and external providers, to the spacecraft and back. You should be comfortable working across hardware, software, testing, operations, and external interfaces to make a practical system work reliably under mission conditions. The core responsibility is integration, validation, readiness, and execution of the RF signal chain. /p h3Responsibilities /h3 ul liOwn the communications chain as a working system, from operator terminal through ground segment and spacecraft interfaces. /li liIntegrate and validate communications hardware, software, configurations, and external services so the overall system performs reliably in operations. /li liWork with external partners and service providers to bring communications capabilities online, verify compatibility, and resolve issues quickly. /li liPlan and run communications testing, including system bring‑up, operational validation, and interference / self‑compatibility testing at spacecraft level. /li liSupport regulatory and spectrum work by owning the in‑house technical inputs for licensing and coordination activities. /li liHelp define operational procedures, contingencies, and tooling needed to use the communications system during flight operations. /li liCollaborate closely with spacecraft, avionics, software, GNC, and mission operations engineers to solve cross‑functional problems rather than staying inside a narrow RF silo. /li /ul h3Qualifications /h3 ul liBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. /li liFamiliarity with verification, troubleshooting, EMI / EMC or interference testing, and debugging issues across subsystem boundaries. /li liPractical experience with real RF communication chains, communications system integration, or ground/space communications operations. /li liExperience coordinating with external vendors, service providers, or partners on technical integration work. /li liFamiliarity with radios, antennas, cabling, link configurations, and test equipment, with the ability to bring a communications system up and make it work reliably. /li /ul h3Desired Experience /h3 ul liExperience planning and executing operational RF tests, including interference characterization and end‑to‑end signal‑chain validation. /li liExperience working with or managing third‑party ground station networks. /li liExperience working in a fast‑moving, multidisciplinary engineering team where individuals are expected to own outcomes rather than stay in a narrow specialty. /li liExperience with satellite communications, spacecraft operations, or other mission‑critical communications environments. /li /ul h3Key Skills /h3 ul liGood engineering judgment around system behavior, interfaces, failure modes, and test strategy. /li liAbility to write clear technical documentation and communicate crisply across engineering and operations teams. /li liA hands‑on, high‑agency mindset: you do not wait for a perfect spec, you close gaps, run things down, and make progress. /li /ul pNote that the role is a permanent position that will start with a fixed‑term contract of 12 months. /p pAt Dawn Aerospace, we believe that diverse teams build better solutions. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences are valued and supported to do their best work. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
