Job Description
Imagine this... you're leading the charge on satellite communications for autonomous vehicles that defy the limits of speed, altitude, and connectivity. One day, you’re deep into RF system modeling; the next, you're fine-tuning link budgets that make the impossible feel like yesterday’s news. You're not just engineering; you're crafting the backbone of a new era in high-speed, high-altitude defense and aerospace operations.
At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost-effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.
What You’ll Do
- Define and translate mission requirements into communication system capabilities that power the most advanced UAVs on the planet.
- Build, analyze, and optimize link budgets to extract maximum performance in the toughest environments.
- Model communication links and simulate system performance to support design decisions and risk mitigation.
- Design and implement signal processing and data algorithms that push performance boundaries.
- Architect end-to-end system solutions that scale, perform, and evolve with our technology.
- Lead validation campaigns and system-level tests to ensure mission readiness.
- Integrate cutting-edge communication hardware—modems, antennas, waveguides—into our flight platforms.
- Create detailed technical documentation that tells a clear, compelling story to internal teams and external partners.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across software, avionics, flight systems, and defense programs.
- Engage with suppliers and partners to align on specifications, drive quality, and ensure timely delivery.
Requirements - What You’ll Need
- Deep knowledge of satellite communication systems, particularly RF and mmWave Satcom payloads.
- Strong understanding of RF communication architectures, modulation techniques, and waveform design.
- Solid grasp of radio propagation—multipath, fading, link loss, and strategies to address these challenges.
- Hands-on experience with signal processing in Python or similar environments.
- Experience with system-level modeling and simulation to drive early-phase design.
- Familiarity with encryption and compression algorithms is a significant advantage.
- Knowledge of multi-beam antennas and beamforming/resource allocation algorithms is a plus.
- Ability to document complex systems clearly and concisely.
Who You Are
You thrive in a fast-paced environment where innovation moves at lightning speed. When others see obstacles, you see opportunities. You love autonomy, solving problems, and taking ownership of challenges. You’re not just a communications engineer; you’re a systems thinker, a problem solver, and a performance optimizer. You bring clarity to complexity, rally teams around technical goals, and hold yourself to the highest standards. Proactive, adaptable, and driven by impact—from concept through deployment—you comfortably navigate discussions with both suppliers and internal stakeholders.
Benefits - Why Join Us?
- The Thrill of the Future – Work on cutting-edge projects that redefine aerospace.
- Global Innovation Hub – Collaborate with top engineers from around the world.
- Fast-Paced & High-Growth – Experience the excitement of working in a rapidly expanding company.
