Jobs at Kepler Communications

Lead the design, development, and deployment of FPGA-based systems for satellite payloads, overseeing a diverse team while ensuring high-quality and efficient project execution.

Support spacecraft architecture, analysis, and verification tasks including trade studies, mission and technical budgets, requirements management, MBSE model contribution, scripting for analysis/automation, and cross-functional engineering support for design reviews and hardware testing.

Design, develop, and maintain high-reliability embedded software for spacecraft and ground systems. Implement secure communications, low-level drivers and kernel components, build automated tests and validation tools, participate in architecture and code reviews, and mentor junior engineers to improve system performance and reliability.

Lead the architecture and integration of laser-based optical communication systems for spacecraft, ensuring technical compatibility and operational performance while collaborating with internal and external teams.

The Embedded Software Test Automation Designer will create and maintain automated tests and infrastructure, ensuring software quality in embedded systems through effective verification strategies and tools.

Develop and test embedded software for satellite on-board systems, payloads, IoT modules, and ground equipment. Work on Embedded Linux, firmware/drivers, and RTOS projects; write tests and documentation; participate in design and code reviews; collaborate with electrical, digital design, and operations teams to define system architecture.

Lead spacecraft systems architecture and analysis, manage system-level budgets (mass, power, link, propellant, reliability), conduct trade studies and integration/test, standardize SEA processes (FMECA, FDIR), mentor and hire engineers, and drive adoption of AI/automation to improve engineering workflows and documentation.

Hands-on senior IT generalist responsible for maintaining and improving internal IT infrastructure, Microsoft 365 and identity services, Ubuntu/Linux servers, networking, endpoint management, automation, and SaaS integrations. Own operations, troubleshoot complex issues, improve security and compliance, automate workflows, and mentor teammates.

Lead development and qualification of spacecraft mechanical subsystems from concept to production. Perform mechanical design, structural and thermal analysis, prototyping, testing, verification, and integration while collaborating across systems, RF, electrical, software, manufacturing, AIT, and mission operations. Drive trade studies, risk reduction, documentation, and mentor junior engineers to ensure reliable, manufacturable flight hardware.

Support Marketing & Communications with campaign execution, event planning, content creation, marketing operations, budget tracking, asset management, and reporting. Capture event photos/videos and help produce social and product marketing materials using Canva and Adobe Creative Suite while coordinating vendors and maintaining project documentation.

Lead the design and evolution of Kepler's backend systems, drive architectural decisions, and mentor engineers while improving engineering processes.

The Finance & Accounting Intern supports daily operations, maintains data integrity in ERP, participates in closing processes, and conducts financial analysis.

Design and develop RF hardware for space and ground terminals, including phased-array antennas and SDR transceivers. Perform RF subsystem simulation, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout support, testing with RF test equipment, and support manufacturing, test, and on-orbit operations while contributing to radio system trade studies.

Serve as a cross-project senior technical authority for Kepler's satellite missions. Review and validate system architectures, lead technical assessments for lifecycle milestones, identify systemic risks, mentor systems engineers, support mission definition and proposals, and advise leadership on technical readiness and risk. Provide independent oversight, anomaly support, and clear guidance to ensure consistent, rigorous satellite systems engineering across programs.

This role involves leading the mechanical engineering function, developing teams, defining standards for design and analysis, and ensuring alignment across engineering disciplines to support space hardware development.

The Senior Systems Engineer will lead architecture and execution of complex space systems, mentoring junior engineers and driving system reliability through advanced engineering efforts.

As a GNC Engineer, you'll design, test, and operate GNC platforms for spacecraft, ensuring performance and reliability through analysis and development of control algorithms.

The Supplier Quality Engineer ensures suppliers meet quality standards through qualification, audits, and corrective action management, collaborating across teams to enhance supply chain performance.

Manage the embedded software team, ensuring high reliability in software for space systems. Lead execution, provide technical guidance, and facilitate recruitment and team development.

Lead product strategy, roadmap development, and execution for Kepler's product lines, ensuring alignment with business objectives and market needs.
