The opportunity
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
What you'll do
Design and implement physical layer (PHY) algorithms for satellite-based 4G/5G (LTE/NR) eNodeB/gNodeB.
Develop optimized signal processing algorithms running on resource-constrained CPUs.
Develop models and run simulations to analyze and validate overall system: performance, including modem performance.
Design, implement, test, maintain, and document the wireless PHY and MAC layers of the protocol stack.
Identify and debug complex performance issues across the wireless PHY and MAC layers.
Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews. Contribute to system: dimensioning and algorithm design for next generation hardware.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or a STEM discipline.
- + Years of experience with at least 1 of the following; wireless signal: processing, wireless communications, modem systems design, wireless systems engineering, DSP (digital signal processing), or physical layer processing (L1).
- + Years of C/C++ coding experience.
- Familiarity with 3GPP 4G/5G (LTE/NR) physical layer design or other modern: broadband OFDM waveforms such as WiMAX, 802.11 WiFi, DVB-S2, DVB-C, 5G NTN (non-terrestrial networks).
