Senior Data Link Communication Research Engineer – Next-Gen Space Systems

The Company

Join an innovative engineering organisation developing the next generation of high-performance communication technology for space platforms. The team is scaling rapidly and building new capabilities across software, embedded systems, and advanced radio/networking architectures.

You'll work alongside specialists in a collaborative, engineering-driven environment focused on solving real-world technical challenges.

The Role

We're seeking a Senior Data Link Communication Research Engineer to help shape and implement the L2 communication stack within a new spaceborne system. You'll contribute to embedded firmware, protocol development, link-layer optimisation and early hardware bring-up across a modern SoC/FPGA platform.

This is a hands-on position where you'll have real ownership over architecture, performance, and the evolution of the in-orbit comms stack.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop L2 firmware, protocols and low-level embedded drivers
  • Architect embedded firmware in C/C++ across RTOS, Linux and bare-metal environments
  • Collaborate with RF, FPGA, software and hardware engineering teams
  • Validate, test and improve proprietary communication techniques
  • Support bring-up, integration and system-level verification of new hardware platforms

Experience & Skills

We'd particularly like to hear from engineers with:

  • 5+ years embedded systems experience, ideally in high-reliability or mission-critical domains
  • Strong C/C++ skills for real-time/embedded systems
  • Background in L1/L2 communications, DSP, or protocol stack development
  • Experience with modern comms standards (e.g. CCSDS, DVB-S2(X), GSE, TM/TC, AOS, etc.)
  • Familiarity with MATLAB, Python/Bash and lab equipment (JTAG, spectrum analysers, VNAs, etc.)

What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary (£90,000) depending on experience
  • Hybrid working (several days per week, onsite)
  • Work on a next-generation communications system
  • High ownership and technical influence
  • Strong culture of collaboration, exploration and engineering autonomy
