Full-Time /
On-site
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.
What is the role:
As a Principal DSP Engineer, you will lead specific activities related to the development of 5G NTN waveform and digital front-end systems for LEO satellites. For this role, you will leverage your expertise in advanced communications algorithm development, communications systems modelling and simulation for hardware implementation on SoC.
This position will report to the DSP team lead and will work closely with Systems, RF, Software and Hardware Engineering teams. This role is based in Duisburg, Germany, and will interact frequently with the E-Space team in Toulouse, France.
What you will do:
- Develop and test 5G waveform and advanced communications algorithms for LEO satellites
- Generate test waveforms and test cases for 5G PHY and satellite communication functionalities
- Develop the software testbed to simulate the end-to-end communication channel, including RF and propagation impairments
- Adapt DSP algorithms for implementation on DSP or SoC or Silicon, down to RTL
- Propose PHY signal processing algorithms and proof them in simulation or prototype
- Implement 3GPP standard compatible features and evaluate them on representative data
- Contribute to the research and development of satellite LEO communication systems
- Participate in national and/or EU funded projects and attend corresponding meetings
- Coach and train other members of your team
What you bring to this role:
- Master's degree or PhD in Telecommunications Engineering or Physics
- 10+ years in a similar role
- Matlab, Python, C/C++, VHDL programming experience
- 5G waveform, beam-forming, MIMO expertise
- Experience in producing algorithm down to RTL
- Experience in working with SoC for communications systems
- Excellent communication, problem solving and time management skills
- Ability to work locally, yet think and act globally by interacting with teams in France, UK, Germany, India and the U.S.
- High level of comfort working autonomously with little supervision, as needed
- Excitement for continuous learning and a willingness to undertake further relevant training
