The selected candidate will provide engineering support to the ITU and Regulatory division responsible for spectrum engineering and specifically will support the design, coordination and integration of spectrum regulatory components into the design and modeling of the Telesat Lightspeed non-geostationary (NGSO) low-earth orbit (LEO) system, while optimizing performance. This requires close collaboration with the system design team to ensure that all relevant technical aspects of the Telesat Lightspeed system are well understood and reflect the spectrum regulatory constraints and procedures in place. The selected candidate will work with the system design and system modeling teams to efficiently implement and update new/existing algorithms and functionality.
- Participate in the software development of the System Model in Matlab environment, to implement functionality related to spectrum regulatory processes and constraints
- Participate in the implementation of spectrum regulatory elements in the system resource management software of the Telesat Lightspeed system
- Participate in the system design efforts to ensure that the system design and spectrum regulatory filings and constraints are compatible, including testing and implementation of emission masks, launch to on-station mission design, antenna design, etc.
- Carry out technical analyses to support frequency coordination exercises and work related to technical filings made to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
- Develop and verify software based on various ITU Recommendations that will enable the assessment of the spectrum regulatory compliance and performance of the Telesat LEO system
- Interpret ITU Recommendations and other relevant materials related to RF propagation and link design
- Use version control software and release management system to ensure software integrity
- Present work and findings to colleagues and management teams
- Write technical documentation related to the above tasks
- Engineering degree in a relevant discipline (Telecommunications, Electrical, Space, Systems, etc.)
- Knowledge of radio frequency (RF) and communication theory
- Engineering courses related to the design of space communication systems preferred
- Master’s degree an asset
- Minimum 2 years work experience
- Excellent and verified Matlab programming skills
- Skilled in other programming languages (e.g. Python) or tools (i.e. STK) an asset
- Fluent in English, both written and verbal
- Strong technical, organizational, interpersonal and communication skills
