Job Description - Telecommunications GS Engineer

We are looking for a Telecommunication Ground Station Engineer to design, deploy, and maintain satellite communication infrastructure across our global network. You’ll work on radio interfaces, signal processing pipelines, and satellite tracking systems ensuring reliable uplink/downlink with our spacecraft. This role offers hands-on development across software, hardware, and RF layers.


 


Your responsibilities will include:



  • Develop and maintain automated ground stations for satellite telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C).

  • Configure radio interfaces (UHF/VHF/S/X-band), modems for telemetry, telecommand and data downlink and uplink.

  • Work with software-defined radios for dynamic communication tasks.

  • Test, validate, maintain and monitor radio frequency antenna system such as LNA, LNB, filters and more.

  • Design, test, and integrate antenna rotator controllers for auto-tracking satellites.

  • Deploy and manage ground station software.

  • Build scalable data routing systems for real-time and store-and-forward communication using cloud APIs.

  • Coordinate with the avionics and mission ops teams for satellite pass predictions and data ingestion.

  • Develop dashboards for real-time telemetry visualization.


 


Qualifications


We’re looking for Telecommunication Engineer with solid technical fundamentals and the drive to learn quickly working across architecture, implementation and troubleshooting with strong ownership and problem-solving mindset.


 




  • Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Electronics, Telecommunications, Aerospace, or related field.

  • 2–5 years of experience in ground station operations, RF communication, or satellite systems.

  • Hands-on experience with radio hardware.

  • Proficient in C++, Python, Linux, scripting, and working with serial/UART, TCP/IP interfaces.

  • Solid understanding of link budgets, Doppler shift compensation, and signal modulation.

  • Experience in RF antenna design and concepts.


 


Nice to have



  • Exposure to embedded system development (Xilinx FPGA, DMA, ARM architecture, PS/PL)

  • Experience with space communication standards such as ETSI DVB-S2X or CCSDS TM/TC/SCCC


 


About the Role



  • Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.

  • Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licenses—this is not something candidates need to have before applying. #LI-RK1
