Lynk is the inventor of satellite direct-to-device (D2D) technology and holds the world's only commercial FCC license to operate a D2D system. As a Wireless Engineer – Satellite, you will play a central role in designing, optimizing, and evolving the spacecraft communications architecture that enables billions of standard mobile devices to connect from anywhere on Earth.
You will work across RF, electrical, and software engineering domains, contributing to spacecraft radio design, ground station evaluation, link budget analysis, system dimensioning, coverage planning, and interference mitigation. Your work will directly influence constellation and network architecture decisions in collaboration with the Systems Engineering team.
On the hardware side, you will integrate and test components including software-defined radios (SDRs), single-board computers, LNAs, filters, and antennas. You will also support spacecraft integration and testing through to launch, using tools such as spectrum analyzers and RF channel simulators, and picking up a soldering iron when needed.
Evolve spacecraft communications architecture including ground links, orbital relays, and inter-satellite links
Evaluate and select spacecraft radios, antennas, and RF components
Perform link budget analyses, traffic/capacity simulations, and frequency planning
Support spacecraft integration, payload testing, and delivery to launch partners
Develop and maintain technical documentation for communications systems
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Master's degree or higher in RF Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with software-defined radios (SDRs), signal processing, and RF systems
Experience integrating radios, antennas, and ground stations into an operational communications system; space communications experience preferred
Proficiency in one or more programming languages: C++, C, Python, MATLAB, or similar
Proficient in working with Linux-based systems
Working knowledge of communications and networking standards such as DVB-S2, CCSDS, LoRa, and protocols including TCP/IP, SNMP, SCTP, Ethernet, and Carrier Grade Ethernet
Hands-on experience programming microcontrollers and SDRs is desired
Fluent in Linux and Windows; proficient with Microsoft Office
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment
