RF Cellular Wireless Handset and Edge Device Engineer

Your mission Your profile Why OrbitsIQ? Reporting to the CTO, you are OIQ’s RF and wireless systems authority for handheld and edge-device user terminals. You architect, build and validate the hybrid NTN-TN radio chain behind our land-mobility MOVE product, from modem and protocol-stack architecture through breadboards, lab and over-the-air testing to field deployment, working closely with hardware, software, AI and commercial teams. 1. RF & wireless system architecture ▪ Architect a hybrid satellite-terrestrial (NTN-TN) communication solution with seamless interoperability for mobility and handheld use cases. ▪ Lead digital hardware architecture for modems and modem accelerators (incl. application processors), together with physical-layer and protocol-stack software architecture. ▪ Translate user-terminal (edge/handheld) and gateway requirements into wireless system architectures compliant with 3GPP (Rel. 15+, incl. Rel. 17+ NTN), ETSI, ITU and FCC. ▪ Design and optimise RAN, core and transport components for adaptive, low-latency, high-throughput connectivity across LEO/MEO/GEO constellations and 5G/LTE/RedCap networks. ▪ Develop NTN-TN spectrum-sharing, interference-mitigation and beamforming strategies; define feeder-link requirements for data and control exchange between TN and NTN. 2. Simulation, integration & testing ▪ Perform network planning, link-budget analysis and simulation with the network design team. ▪ Review end-to-end mission interfaces and data-path integrity: RF chain, onboard payload, terminal RF control, integrated modems and battery management. ▪ Drive board- and subsystem-level breadboard development and validation of critical building blocks. ▪ Write and execute integration and system test specifications; run lab, over-the-air (OTA) and real-world drive tests for NTN-TN interoperability. ▪ Deliver proof-of-concept deployments and demonstrations. 3. Partners, suppliers & delivery ▪ Evaluate component and subsystem partners; coordinate external technical partnerships. ▪ Plan and steer contract-supplier and subcontractor deliveries: milestones, work packages, plan sign-offs, subsystem integration and acceptance. ▪ Act as primary technical contact for cellular wireless development and deployment across OIQ’s partner and customer ecosystem. 4. Collaboration & mentoring ▪ Maintain rigorous technical documentation (e.g. GitHub) and present results internally and externally. ▪ With the CTO, mentor working students, interns and extended team members on 4G/5G NTN-TN connectivity.
