As a Sr. Manager of our Modem Algorithm Design team, you will be responsible for recruiting, training, leading and managing a team of algorithm development engineers. This team will be responsible for designing significant parts of the ground space communications links needed for the project to succeed. This is a unique opportunity to 'get in on the ground floor' on one of the most interesting and exciting projects of our generation.

Responsibilities:
In this role you will:
• Work within a team and take responsibility for high bandwidth wireless system architecture
• Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of resources (costs, power, spectrum)
• Work closely with implementation teams to evaluate and simulate expected system level performance and provide quick feedback on potential improvements
• Work closely with implementation teams to determine external technology suppliers
• Be a key person to represent the wireless systems capabilities to management, internal teams, and third party suppliers
• Manage the team responsible for defining and modeling Project Kuiper's high speed communication links between the ground and satellite constellation

Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
