Wireless Communication Protocols and Networking Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
We are seeking an experienced Wireless Communication Protocols and Networking Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of MAC and network layer protocols for next-generation wireless networking systems. This role is pivotal in ensuring reliable, high-performance communication across our wireless infrastructure. A strong background in wireless networking is required, and extensive experience with 5G protocols will be considered a significant bonus.   As a Wireless Communication Protocols and Networking Engineer, you will architect and implement robust MAC and network layer protocols, ensuring seamless integration with lower physical layers and upper application services. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to develop, test, and validate protocol solutions that support advanced wireless communication systems, including emerging 5G technologies.   This position reports to the Senior Director of Product and System Integration and is based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you will do:

• Protocol Design & Implementation
• Design and implement MAC layer protocols that maximize throughput, minimize latency, and optimize network efficiency.
• Develop and integrate network layer protocols to ensure secure, reliable, and scalable data routing within wireless networks.
• Work on protocol stacks that support a wide range of wireless technologies, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across systems.
• System Integration & Testing
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and system integration teams to ensure seamless interoperability of the protocol stack with physical layer components and higher-level services.
• Develop comprehensive test plans, simulation models, and field trials to validate protocol performance under various operational scenarios.
• Utilize advanced debugging and performance analysis tools to optimize network performance and address potential issues proactively.
• Research & Innovation
