About the role
Sr. Software Engineer Who We Are Kymeta’s mission is to enhance lives by unlocking the potential for global satellite and cellular broadband communications while on the move. We do this through our innovative solutions, best in class technologies that meet and exceed our customers’ requirements. Our core principles define the character and spirit of our employees and how we operate. We are committed to fostering a customer focused culture by creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment that is rooted in supporting its employees and our corporate social responsibilities. What We Need Kymeta is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with a strong background in both advanced algorithm development and real-time system implementation—someone who can bridge the gap between the theoretical and the practical. You should be fluent in C/C++, comfortable working under real-time constraints, and experienced in translating complex mathematical models into production-ready code for embedded systems. A strong grasp of systems engineering principles and the ability to operate across multiple layers of the software stack are essential. This role spans the full system: from algorithm design and prototyping to integration, deployment, and optimization on real hardware. You’ll contribute to all aspects of our antenna control software—low-level drivers, estimation, control loops, orchestration layers, and adaptive optimization logic leveraging AI/ML where appropriate. Key Responsibilities
- Develop and deliver antenna control software across Kymeta’s multi-band, multi-orbit satellite systems:
- Control loop design, acquisition, pointing, and tracking algorithm development
- System-level orchestration from low-level drivers to adaptive logic
- Integration of AI/ML technologies from the cloud to the edge
- Build the enabling software infrastructure:
- Interfaces, data pipelines, finite-state machines, diagnostics, and fault handling
- Embedded implementations in C/C++ on constrained Linux or real-time platforms
- Collaborate across hardware, RF, systems, and cloud teams to ensure system cohesion
- Drive the entire development lifecycle—from simulation to field deployment, with a mindset of hyper-ownership that includes engaging stakeholders early, maintaining alignment throughout development, and validating post-delivery to ensure program success
- Promote reliability, testability, and long-term maintainability throughout the codebase
- Active Secret Clearance, or clearance held within the past five years. Experience working in secure, classified environments.
- Strong background in satellite communication systems, wireless technologies, or related domains
- Track record of implementing complex mathematical models in embedded or real-time systems
- Practical experience integrating cloud platforms, IoT frameworks, or AI/ML technologies with edge devices
- Hands-on experience with Extended Kalman Filters (EKFs) and vehicle localization
- TS/SCI
