What the job involves
- System-level and link-level design in support of ground-breaking satellite communication and radar imaging system
- Work closely with ASIC/FPGA, RF/antenna, and software engineers to design and validate silicon-based systems
- Develop floating-point and fixed-point models and build simulations to analyze system performance
- Generate bit-accurate and cycle-accurate vector models to support IC design verification
- Create spacecraft hardware requirements, specifications, and test procedures
- Support RF system bring-up and validation by developing and implementing hardware test plans
Application process
- We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish
Our take
3D imaging is a growing market important to a wide array of industries, including climate action, defence, and insurance analytics. However, data supply chains from the satellites that provide this imaging to the people processing it are slow and expensive. Array Labs is developing innovative satellite imaging that can be delivered to its users almost in real-time.
Array Labs has taken part in two reputable accelerators since it was founded in 2021, and is attracting investors thanks to its plans to create a multifunctional 3D imaging satellite constellation above the Earth. Whilst this idea has been in play for decades, it is only recently that the dataset technology has caught up with the concept, and Array Labs is paving the way.
There’s still much work to be done to realise Array's ultimate vision, but it has got off to a promising start and has good funding at its back. Taking on the work ahead of it will rely heavily on partnerships with preexisting satellite companies.
