About the role

Senior Software EngineerWho We Are Kymeta revolutionizes satellite communications through Intelligent Communications Platforms (ICPs). Our electronically steered flat panel antennas enable seamless communications on-the-move. Kymeta solutions serve government, military, maritime, transport, and public safety clients worldwide, providing uninterrupted connectivity and spatial intelligence anywhere, anytime. With over 150 patents, Kymeta is shaping the future of global communications. For more information, visit kymetacorp.com 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

Preferred Skills and Experience

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

EDUCATION

B.S. Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent knowledge and experience, M.S. preferred
