Title: SpaceX - Want to build space radios? Post by Aaron Zeeb on Mar 2nd, 2011, 5:17pm About SpaceX SpaceX is a commercial space startup company founded by Elon Musk of Tesla Motors and PayPal. We are revolutionizing access to space by developing a family of launch vehicles and spacecraft -- Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 Rockets, and our Dragon Spacecraft. To date we have become the first commercial company to ever successfully launch a liquid fueled rock into Earth orbit. In December of last year we became the first commercial company to successfully reclaim a spacecraft from Earth orbit -- a feat that only 6 nations have achieved! RF Systems Engineer Our Avionics Hardware Division is seeking an RF Systems Engineer to support the development, procurement, test and integration of broadband communication systems (transmitters, receivers, power amplifiers and modems) for our multi-purpose Dragon spacecraft. We are specifically targeting individuals from the mobile phone and/or the consumer electronics industry (lower cost, compact packaging, reduced power consumption and mass production systems). Responsibilities: Develop requirements for multiple space hardened broadband communication systems operating in UHF and Ka bands Create complex simulation models of the internal components and external channels to determine system performance specifications have been met Development of system store and forward data architecture and ICDs including instrument interface through downlink antennas Development or procurement of spacecraft flight hardware through all phases of mission life Rapid and effective problem solving at all stages of vehicle integration and testing Development of ground support equipment for the integration and test of the flight hardware and in support of ground station development Requirements: Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar technical area of study required; Masters degree preferred Minimum of 3 full lifecycle project designs from requirements definition through modeling to final hardware design and test Detailed understanding of digital communications protocols, forward error correction codes and methodologies, and communications system design Detailed understanding of matched filter design and adaptive equalization in QPSK, OQPSK, and other modulation schemes Experience with FH and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, Phase Locked Loop Analysis Experience modeling fading channels with multipath, co-channel and adjacent channel interference Experience with systems DSP re-sampling techniques and Digital Time Correction Knowledge of MatLab, Simulink or C modeling Familiarity with CCSDS packet telemetry Familiarity with OSI 7 layer communications model Strong written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills Aaron Zeeb, Space Exploration Technologies 1 Rocket Road - Hawthorne, CA 90250 aaron.zeeb@spacex.com http://www.spacex.com |

Let me know if you need help with radiation hardened designs or other environmentally challenged electronics. Got stuff in satellites and military avionics. Jerry jerry@effectiveelectrons.com |
