About E-Space

E-Space is a global space company, bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network to advance humanity, protect the planet, and enable smarter business. Backed by Space Capital.

About the role

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Santa Clara office. The target base pay for this position is $140,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

What they're looking for

  • Demonstrated depth in communication DSP and modem architecture, with a record of resolving difficult performance and implementation tradeoffs across interacting PHY subsystems
  • Ability to implement and debug numerical algorithms in C/C++, and to use Python or MATLAB for simulation, analysis, and test automation
  • Deep practical knowledge of 5G NR PHY implementation and relevant 3GPP specifications, with the ability to assess NTN requirements and translate them into coherent architecture, interfaces, and validation criteria
  • Demonstrated experience converting floating-point algorithms to fixed-point implementations, selecting numerical precision, and validating performance against a reference model
  • Ability to build reproducible tests, use version control, document technical assumptions and results, and explain discrepancies during code and design reviews
More about this role

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.

  • Lead the DSP software and firmware architecture for the 5G NR modem physical layer (PHY) for satellite non-terrestrial networks (NTN), define subsystem boundaries and interfaces, and guide hardware/software partitioning with ASIC and system architects while remaining hands-on in critical implementation work.
  • Set the PHY/link-level modeling and performance-validation approach across subsystems. Establish representative NTN scenarios, performance and power budgets,...
