Teams at Kepler Communications

Design and implement FPGA code for satellite digital payloads, including DSP algorithms, software-defined radio signal processing, embedded systems, and processor or peripheral interfaces. Responsibilities include developing custom IP, improving DSP and interface reliability, integrating vendor IP cores, supporting communications architecture, and participating in spacecraft design studies. The engineer will work across simulation, synthesis, place and route, timing closure, and hardware testing.

Develop and maintain embedded software for spacecraft and ground systems, including device drivers, kernel modules, hardware interfaces, platform services, and secure communications. Build automated testing and validation tools, participate in architecture and code reviews, troubleshoot performance and reliability issues, and collaborate across software, hardware, and operations teams. The role also provides technical leadership and mentorship while supporting high-reliability satellite operations.

Leads spectrum engineering for LEO satellite communications systems, integrating ITU regulations, frequency coordination, interference constraints, and RF performance into system architecture and mission-planning software. Conducts compatibility, sharing, propagation, link, antenna, and interference analyses; supports regulatory submissions; develops and validates technical models and tools; identifies risks and optimization opportunities; and provides technical leadership across systems, RF, antenna, mission design, and software teams.
