A day in the life
The successful applicant will be experienced in designing new satellite system capabilities (mobility, handover...) to enable software teams the capabilities to verify new features in the satellite & customer terminals. You should be comfortable taking on ambiguous challenges like setting up new pre-production hardware for the first time. You should be able to define SOPs, metrics and alarms to keep equipment and test infrastructure highly available and expand the teams capabilities over time. You will be invaluable to enabling the team to move quickly and confidently with robust verification frameworks that scale with our systems.
