Job Description

Location: 1) On-site - Ontario, Canada

Employment Type: Full-Time | Long-Term Contract | Multiple Openings

About the Role:

Techner is seeking a highly skilled

Satellite Communications Expert

to lead and support initiatives in

Direct-to-Cell (DTC) satellite technology

and other advanced satellite communication systems. This role involves

designing, deploying, and optimizing satellite networks

that enable direct connectivity to consumer devices, including smartphones, IoT sensors, and emergency communication systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead technical design and implementation of

Direct-to-Cell satellite communication systems.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate satellite payloads with terrestrial networks. Evaluate and o

ptimize link budgets, RF performance, and spectrum usage for DTC services.

Support regulatory and licensing efforts for satellite spectrum and orbital slots. Develop and maintain system architecture documentation, including satellite-ground interface specifications. Conduct feasibility studies and simulations for new satellite technologies (e.g., LEO/MEO/GEO constellations). Stay current with industry trends in

NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks), 3GPP standards

, and satellite-to-device innovations. Provide technical leadership in customer engagements, proposals, and solution development.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical engineering, Telecommunications, Aerospace, or related field.

5+ years of experience in satellite communications, preferably with DTC or NTN systems.

Strong understanding of RF engineering, satellite payloads, and ground station infrastructure. Experience with 3GPP Release 17/18 standards related to NTN and DTC.

Familiarity with satellite network simulation tools (e.g., STK, SatSim, MATLAB).

Knowledge of spectrum management and regulatory frameworks (FCC, ITU, etc.). Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with LEO constellations (e.g., Starlink, OneWeb, AST SpaceMobile).

Hands-on experience with SDR (Software Defined Radio) and beamforming technologies.

Background in mobile network integration (e.g., 5G core, RAN, edge computing). Prior involvement in satellite launch or commissioning projects.

Why Join Us:

Work on cutting-edge satellite technologies shaping the future of global connectivity. Collaborate with industry leaders and innovators in space and telecom. Competitive compensation, flexible work arrangements, and growth opportunities.
