MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Bring expert-level experience in taking an RF design to market, where you contributed to the RF trade space. Trade space includes aspects like ACP, PAR, out-of-band emissions, pass-band ripple, group delay, etc. You will support the existing team in finalizing the definition of all aspects of the radio system implementation involving agile multi-beam phased array antennas using beam hopping.
- Support the definition of operations for all phases of the functional requirements, including user terminal commissioning, network entry, satellite handovers, time synchronization, adaptive coding, and modulation (ACM), among others.
- You will serve as the principal system architect for defining all air interfaces between the user terminals, landing stations, and satellite payloads.
- Work with system architects, RF engineers, antenna engineers, and user terminal and landing station engineers to partition functions between hardware and software domains.
- Work with the system modeling team to provide guidance on system design assumptions to be considered in the system model.
- Develop strategies for modeling link performance accounting for impairments of the different elements in the system.
- Collaborate with the Verification and Test group to plan proper validation of the requirements to ensure appropriate system performance.
- Stay involved within the DVB standard forum and provide recommendations as part of Telesat's engagement on the forum.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
- B. Sc. in Electrical, Computer, or System Engineering and at least 15 years of relevant experience in RF communications systems and/or RF equipment manufacturing.
- Experience taking an RF design through iterations and specification changes through low-rate equipment production.
- Experience in system design, requirement management, and communication systems performance assessments
- Desired knowledge of DVB standards such as DVB-S2X and DVB-RCS2 standard
- Knowledge of digital communication systems, spread spectrum, single and multi-carrier techniques, modulation types such as PSK, APSK, QAM
- Have a good understanding of MATLAB or other tools for modeling and analyzing RF communication systems.
- Thorough understanding of RF passive and active components
- Experience characterizing radio performance at microwave frequencies, including rain fade and its effects on the communication links.
- Knowledge of RF transceiver architectures and digital communication theory
- Highly collaborative team player who can quickly earn the confidence of co-workers and teammates.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills in English, demonstrating that you have communicated effectively with management, engineering teams, and partners/suppliers.
DECISION MAKING & SUPERVISION:
- In this role, the incumbent will provide leadership and make important technical recommendations on implementing the Lightspeed System design.
- This role will expand during the program to an organization of between 3 and 6 engineering staff.
WORKING CONDITIONS:
- Typical office environment or Home Office
- laboratory environment in Ottawa, Bethesda and home office if you have equipment.
- Some occasional travel to vendors in the USA and Canada
