• Production line software & testing
  • Develop software for production line bring-up and testing
  • Automate testing procedures to ensure hardware and software reliability
  • Working alongside mechanical/RF/EE/FPGA and SW engineers to ensure system correctness, performance, and reliability before leaving our manufacturing line

  • Create simulations that model satellite and network design
  • Create simulation tools for testing and validating system performance
  • Design and implement software that orchestrates our global antenna network and data plane

Basic Qualifications:

• 0-2 years of professional software development experience (this doesn’t have to be from a full-time role—there are many ways to gain valuable experience, and we’d love to hear about yours – tell us about internships, projects out of the classroom, or any personal projects)
• Completed bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Math or other related major (soft-requirement, tell us why you didn’t pursue a degree, and what you’ve done in it’s place)
