• Job Type: W2 Contract

Background/Need:

The Group is involved in a synergistic combination of research, proof- of-concept test beds, and system engineering/application e orts focused on the goals of enhancing the capacity, the robustness to interference, and the exibility of future generations of communications satellites, as well as beyond line-of- sight radio communications systems. Current research is concentrating on the design and performance of advanced waveforms, machine learning applied to communications, signal geolocation, Alt-PNT, non-linear operation in saturation, beamforming for novel array types, robust acquisition and tracking techniques, dynamic resource-allocation protocols, and advanced networking strategies.

The Group requires a hardware engineer to design and maintain satellite communications payload emulation systems used within the group and delivered to industry.
