Full Job Description
About Lynk Lynk is the inventor of satellite direct to device or D2D technology, and has the world’s only commercial license from the FCC to operate a commercial D2D system. Today, Lynk allows mobile network operators' subscribers to send and receive text messages to and from space via standard unmodified, mobile devices. Lynk’s service has been tested and proven on all seven continents, has regulatory approvals in more than 30 countries, and is currently being deployed commercially based on more than 40 MNO commercial service contracts covering approximately 50 countries. Our technology will enable all 8 billion people on the planet to stay connected with the existing standard phone in their pocket. Everywhere. No matter what. By joining Lynk, you will have the opportunity to directly touch the lives of billions. Your mission will be to bring mobile broadband to billions, pull hundreds of millions out of poverty, and save countless lives. Job Summary Lynk is developing cellular-based space payloads and seeks engineers with expertise and experience designing and developing custom software-defined radio (SDR) platforms. Aspects of the position require an understanding of FPGA hardware, firmware, digital signal processing, and algorithms for SDR-based satellite communication. As a Senior FPGA Engineer, you will support the development of custom radio platforms for the primary (cellular service link) and secondary (TT&C / feeder link) communication links. The platform will initially be tested in a lab environment, then on the payload prototype in a lab environment that simulates orbit operations, and finally in space. The Senior FPGA Engineer will also be responsible for designing and implementing methods for ensuring successful testing, verification, and validation. Core Responsibilities As a Senior FPGA Engineer, your core responsibilities are as follows: - Design high-speed FPGA RTL designs for satellite communication systems - Understand the hardware-based requ
