Experience Inc. Jobs

Description

Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband internet connectivity to un-served and under-served communities around the world. In this role, you will be bringing that vision to life by architecting, developing and testing the communication systems payload software that provides the radio link connectivity between the satellites to customer-terminals and the ground-based internet gateways.

Key job responsibilities

In this role, you will drive the design, development, and operation of a variety of key functions such as commanding, telemetry, power control, hardware interfaces, and autonomous capabilities for each satellite throughout its lifetime – from launch to de-orbit.

In this role, you will:

• Own unique embedded software functions through design, implementation (in C, C++, RUST or other), test, and integration in an embedded Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) environment.

• Write software to control silicon devices using proprietary and standard communication buses, such as Interlaken SerDes, JESD, PCIe, I3C, I2C, SPI, RS-422, RS-485, Ethernet, etc.

• Work closely with hardware teams to support board design, bring-up, and verification, as well as integration and test.

• Follow best practices in high reliability embedded software development to ensure very high levels of system reliability and availability.

• Debug low-level issues at the intersection of hardware/FPGA/firmware/software on multicore SOCs.

Export Control Requirement:

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
