PHY Software Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
What is the role:
As a Software PHY Engineer, you will design and develop physical layer software components for 5G NR standalone systems, ensuring compliance with 3GPP standards. Your responsibilities will include optimizing software for performance, scalability, and power efficiency. Collaboration with cross-functional teams such as hardware engineers, system engineers, and protocol stack developers will be essential to ensure seamless integration of the physical layer software within the 5G SA system. Leveraging your 7+ years of expertise in this field, you will play a key role in the development and refinement of these critical components. This position is based in either our Saratoga, CA, Beverly, MA or Arlington, TX office.

What you will do:

• Design and Development: Create physical layer software components for 5G NR standalone systems, ensuring adherence to 3GPP standards.
• Implementation: Develop and optimize signal processing algorithms, such as modulation/demodulation, channel coding/decoding, and MIMO processing.
• Testing and Validation: Design and execute test plans to validate software functionality and performance. Identify and resolve issues in physical layer software.
• Optimization: Enhance software for improved performance, scalability, and power efficiency. Conduct code reviews and offer feedback to peers.
• Collaboration: Partner with hardware engineers, system engineers, and protocol stack developers to integrate physical layer software seamlessly within the 5G SA system.
• Research and Innovation: Stay current with advancements in 5G technology. Contribute to R&D efforts to enhance the company's product offerings.

What you bring to this role:

• Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or MATLAB.
• Strong understanding of digital signal processing (DSP) and communication theory.
• Experience with software development tools and environments (e.g., version control systems, debugging tools).
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and embedded systems.
• Knowledge of 3GPP standards, particularly those related to 5G NR.
• Strong understanding of RF design, digital signal processing (DSP), and communication theory.
• Experience with FPGA and ASIC development, as well as embedded systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.
• Self-motivated with a passion for innovation and continuous learning.
