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.
