Wireless Engineer - Cellular

About this role

Lynk seeks a Wireless Engineer to design and implement air interfaces for satellite-direct-to-phone services, focusing on PHY/MAC layer algorithms, baseband modem development, and signal processing for next-generation satellite-based mobile networks.

What you'll do

• Design and implement PHY and MAC layer algorithms for satellite communication links
• Develop baseband modems on software-defined radio platforms
• Evaluate algorithm performance through simulation and target platform testing
• Create test software and drivers for unit, integration, and system testing
• Perform link budget analysis for LTE and 5G satellite-to-device systems
• Benchmark payload software applications with team members

What they're looking for

• Communication theory and signal processing (filtering, channel estimation, equalization, MIMO, channel coding)
• Software-defined radio (SDR) design and implementation
• 3GPP standards knowledge (LTE and 5G PHY, MAC, RRC specifications)
• MATLAB, Python, C, or C++ programming
• DSP algorithm implementation in HDL (SystemVerilog, VHDL)
• Test equipment operation (signal generators, spectrum analyzers)
• Lab testing and characterization
• Link budget analysis
