Job Description
Imagine this: you're taking the lead on satellite communications for autonomous vehicles that push the boundaries of speed, altitude, and connectivity. One day you're immersed in RF system modeling; the next, you're fine-tuning link budgets that make the impossible seem like yesterday's news. You're not just engineering; you're building 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 tailored to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, offering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost-effectiveness. Destinus collaborates with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, ushering in 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 for the most advanced UAVs on the planet.
- Build, analyze, and optimize link budgets to maximize 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 communications hardware—modems, antennas, waveguides—into our flight platforms.
- Create detailed technical documentation that tells a clear, compelling story for 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 grasp of RF communication architectures, modulation techniques, and waveform design.
- Solid understanding of radio propagation—multipath, fading, link loss—and mitigation strategies.
- Hands-on skills with signal processing in Python or equivalent environments.
- Experience with system-level modeling and simulation to inform early-phase design.
- Familiarity with encryption and compression algorithms is a significant advantage.
- Knowledge of multi-beam antennas and beamforming/resource allocation algorithms is beneficial.
- Ability to document complex systems clearly and concisely.
