About the role

  • Senior Spectrum Engineer integrating ITU regulations, RF analysis, and spectrum coordination into Kepler’s LEO satellite communications systems. Kepler Communications provides real-time on-orbit connectivity.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a technical authority on spectrum engineering, frequency coordination, and regulatory compliance for Kepler’s satellite systems.
  • Lead development and maintenance of system models incorporating spectrum regulations, coordination requirements, interference constraints, and operational scenarios.
  • Define and implement spectrum-related functionality within satellite resource-management and mission-planning software.
  • Identify spectrum risks, constraints, and optimization opportunities.
  • Lead technical assessments involving emission masks, antenna characteristics, RF propagation, interference, link performance, and launch-to-operational-orbit mission profiles.
  • Conduct compatibility, sharing, and interference analyses involving NGSO, GSO, terrestrial, and other communications systems.
  • Support frequency-coordination activities and regulatory submissions to the ITU and national administrations.
  • Develop, verify, and maintain software tools used to evaluate regulatory compliance and system performance.
  • Establish analysis methodologies, assumptions, validation practices, and documentation standards.
  • Identify spectrum-related technical and regulatory risks and develop mitigation strategies with internal stakeholders.
  • Integrate regulatory requirements, frequency-coordination considerations, and interference constraints into system architecture, analytical models, and resource-management capabilities.
  • Translate ITU regulations into practical system requirements and technical solutions.
  • Lead critical analyses, influence system-level design decisions, and provide technical guidance on spectrum strategy, compliance, and performance optimization.
  • Support cross-functional Systems Engineering, RF, Antenna, Mission Design, and Software teams.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Systems Engineering, Space Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • At least seven years of relevant engineering experience, including substantial experience in spectrum engineering, satellite communications, RF systems, or frequency coordination.
  • Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, RF propagation, link analysis, digital communications, antenna systems, and interference modeling.
  • Demonstrated experience interpreting and applying ITU Radio Regulations, ITU-R Recommendations, or comparable spectrum regulations.
  • Familiarity with international spectrum regulatory frameworks.
  • Experience conducting interference, compatibility, and spectrum-sharing analyses for satellite or terrestrial communication systems.
  • Strong proficiency with programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or MATLAB.
  • Experience developing, validating, and maintaining technical software or system models.
  • Ability to lead complex technical investigations and translate findings into clear recommendations and system requirements.
  • Strong technical writing, presentation, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Ability to work independently while providing technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with a robust equity plan to share in our success.
  • Comprehensive coverage for health, dental, and vision insurance—including dependents.
  • Unlimited vacation.
  • Supportive parental leave policy.
  • Company-wide holiday shutdown.
  • Semi-annual company-wide parties.
  • Frequent in-office team events.
  • Relocation packages available for approved roles.
  • $1,500 annual professional development fund.
  • Fully stocked Toronto office kitchen with snacks, drinks, games and top-notch kitchen appliances.
  • Town Halls, Celebration Calls, and Company-wide events.
  • Great Place to Work® certification.
