Join our Kuiper MAC Software team to revolutionize global connectivity through satellite communications. As a key innovator, you'll develop mission-critical embedded firmware that powers our ground terminal networks and satellite systems, directly impacting millions of users worldwide.
We're looking for a talented software engineer to architect and optimize Media Access Control (MAC) layer solutions for our next-generation satellite communication platform. You'll work at the intersection of space technology and wireless communications, leveraging your expertise in:
- Bare-metal embedded systems
- Embedded Linux development
- Modern systems programming (Rust/C)
This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of satellite communications while working with a diverse team of industry experts. Your code won't just run on Earth - it will operate in space, helping bridge the digital divide and connect the unconnected.
The Role
- Design and implement MAC layer protocols for wireless communication systems
- Develop efficient real-time software for resource-constrained embedded platforms
- Optimize protocol performance for latency-sensitive applications
- Interface with PHY layer implementations and higher network stack components
- Collaborate with hardware teams for efficient hardware/software integration
- Develop automated testing frameworks for protocol validation
