Design and develop algorithms for quantum key distribution (QKD) tailored for satellite communication.
Utilize Model-Based Design principles, specifically leveraging MathWorks tools such as Simulink and MATLAB for system modeling and simulation.
Implement and test the algorithms in a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environment to validate their performance under realistic conditions.
Work closely with VHDL & SW engineers to ensure seamless implementation of the algorithms on FPGA/Microprocessor/SoC platforms for satellite hardware.
Document all development processes, methodologies, and results to ensure compliance with project standards and facilitate knowledge transfer within the team."

Qualifications

Telecommunication Engineer (MSc), or equivalent, with firm background on Signal processing, digital communications and protocols. Model based design, model based system engineering and cryptography/security protocols are very valued.
More than 7 years-experience in designing and development of SDR/digital communication architectures and algorithms applied to communication systems: modulation schemes, error correction coding, characterisation of communication links (channel distortion, EVM, BER, FER).
More than 7 years of Experience in designing of Signal Processing Algorithms (DSP), specification and performances evaluation oriented to FPGAs or Microprocessors. A deep understanding of floating-point to fixed-point algorithm translation is a must.
More than 7 years of Experience in debugging the FW- FPGA solution or C-Microprocessors solution at laboratory during HW-FW integration.
Knowledge of FPGA, microprocessors and System on Chip devices (MPSoC, RFSoC)
Use of test instrumentation: Spectrum Analysers, Network Analysers, Signal Analyzers, Logic Analyzers, Data Patterns Generators, Oscilloscopes, BER meters
Knowledge of Simulation software: MATLAB, Simulink, HDL Coder.
Knowledge of Software Programming: C/C++, Python.
Team work, improvement spirit, pragmatic, results oriented, dynamic, accountable and proactive.
Capable of having a solution’s overall vision and to focus on each individual component.
Motivated to learn new technologies, and space-business processes and tools
Capable to solve engineering problems within risk, cost & schedule constraints and Valued Experience in Agile methodology.
