Position

KATIM is a leader in the development of innovative secure communication products and solutions for governments and businesses. As part of the Space & Cyber Technologies cluster at EDGE, KATIM delivers trust in a world where cyber risks are a constant threat. The organization fulfills the increasing demand for advanced cyber capabilities by delivering robust, secure, end-to-end solutions centered on four core business units: Networks, Ultra Secure Mobile Devices, Applications, and Satellite Communications. KATIM combines the energy of a start-up with the discipline of a large business, employing a talented team of cross-functional experts to meet customer needs.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing advanced algorithms for high-standard baseband modem.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement waveform algorithms for wireless communication and satellite modems, optimizing performance in bandwidth efficiency, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and error resilience.
  • Design algorithms for modulation, demodulation, coding, and error correction suited to satellite communication requirements.
  • Apply advanced signal processing techniques to enhance waveform efficiency and robustness.
  • Implement digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for multiple communication modes.
  • Simulate and validate waveform algorithms using software tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or Python, ensuring robust modem operation through performance testing in various communication channel models.
  • Optimize algorithms for real-time implementation, considering hardware and software systems.
  • Integrate algorithms into the overall modem architecture, collaborating closely with hardware engineers, system architects, and software developers.
  • Document design, performance analysis, and testing procedures, preparing reports and presentations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and troubleshooting sessions.

Education and Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a related field. A Ph.D. is a plus.
  • 7+ years of experience in developing algorithms for wireless communication systems or related products.
  • Hands-on experience in designing and optimizing waveform algorithms for wireless communications, including satellite communication.
  • Strong understanding of wireless communication standards and protocols.
  • Familiarity with high-frequency communication techniques and RF signal processing is a plus.

Key Skills:

  • Expertise in DSP algorithms, modulation techniques (e.g., QAM, OFDM, PSK), and error correction coding (e.g., LDPC, Turbo codes).
  • Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or similar tools for algorithm development and simulation.
  • Experience with hardware implementation of algorithms (e.g., FPGA, ASIC) is highly desirable.
  • Knowledge of communication channel models and performance metrics.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment.
