Chipset Evaluation & Selection
  • Evaluate and benchmark COTS 5G NTN chipsets from leading vendors for use with Viasat's network.
  • Analyze, understand and help influence chipset roadmaps, feature sets, and vendor support to inform hardware platform decisions.
  • Lead technical due diligence and vendor technical engagement for chipset selection.

Reference Hardware Design & Development
  • Define (generate requirements), architect and develop cost effective reference hardware designs for 5G NR-NTN terminals (UE) for non-consumer markets.
  • Develop hardware design guidelines, best practices, and documentation for OEM/ODM partners.
  • Ensure reference designs are modular, scalable, and adaptable to requirements of multiple markets.

Hardware Integration & Customization
  • Integrate COTS 5G chipsets, including satellite and terrestrial connectivity modules.
  • Design and validate hardware interfaces with specific submodules (e.g., eSIM, GNSS, secure elements, RF front-ends).
  • Lead the integration of hardware-based root of trust, secure boot, and trusted execution environments.
  • Support the addition of terrestrial 5G, eSIM, and other advanced features into device hardware.

System Bring-up, Validation & Debug
  • Oversee hardware bring-up, validation, and debugging of reference and custom platforms.
  • Collaborate with software and firmware teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
  • Develop and execute test plans for performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance (FCC, CE, carrier certifications).
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.

Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Interface with internal business to collaborate on future product portfolio roadmap.
  • Work closely with chipset vendors, contract manufacturers, and internal engineering teams.
  • Provide technical guidance to partners and internal teams on hardware integration best practices.
  • Mentor junior hardware engineers and contribute to technical roadmaps for future device platforms.

What you'll need
  • 8 - 10+ years of HW and Mixed Signal design competence leveraging 5G chipsets into user equipment (UE) products.
  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or other related engineering discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience taking designs from paper to product including defining requirements, analytical/simulation design, schematic & BOM creation, design validation and into Production.
  • Understanding of Communications Theory and Wireless Communication and how they apply to the design of the UE.
  • Previous background developing support documentation such as design guidelines, test plans, test procedures, design and integration guides, ect.
  • Proficiency with design process including Specification Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Implementation Complete Review (ICR) and Production Readiness Review (PRR).
  • Exposure supporting Contract Manufacturers (CM), OEM's and/or ODM's.
  • Understanding of regulatory requirements that impact the UE design and production.
  • Problem-solving skills to isolate and resolve complex UE issues when operating within the network.
  • Ability to provide technical support across multiple and simultaneous product developments and sustaining activities.
  • Aptitude to provide contingency work arounds to preserve schedules.
  • Previous experience providing cost and schedule estimates for both new proposals and sustaining activities.
  • Sound communication and organizational skills.
  • Demonstrated design discipline and rigor.
  • Availability to support up to 20% travel (averaged over time).

What will help you on the job
  • Master of Science in Engineering is preferred.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude.
  • Experience working with supply chain to provide technical input on supplier decisions such as make vs buy trade, etc.
