Jobs at Kepler Communications

Supports Kepler’s Canadian Controlled Goods Program, export and import compliance, security assessments, records management, permits, audits, inspections, and regulatory filings. Reviews shipments, technology transfers, travel, system access, and information sharing against compliance requirements. Develops procedures and training materials, responds to routine compliance questions, maintains deadlines and documentation, and escalates potential violations. The role requires handling confidential and controlled information and obtaining security clearance and CGP approval.

Supports companywide supply chain activities for satellite engineering and manufacturing, including approved vendor management, inventory cycle counts, warehouse organization, RFQ/RFP/RFI support, purchase order management, receiving, and ERP/MES maintenance. The intern will maintain accurate NetSuite records, investigate discrepancies, assist suppliers and purchasing activities, and contribute to process improvements in an on-site Toronto office.

Leads satellite systems engineering for spacecraft programs, overseeing architecture, requirements, interfaces, integration, verification, technical reviews, risk closure, and mission readiness. Partners with engineering, program management, suppliers, customers, and leadership to drive technical decisions and delivery. Mentors engineers, manages cross-functional execution, and ensures system-level performance across the satellite lifecycle. The role requires experience delivering at least one satellite-level program and familiarity with constellation architectures, mission assurance, subsystem development, and spacecraft operations.

Design and implement FPGA code for satellite digital payloads, including DSP algorithms, software-defined radio signal processing, embedded systems, and processor or peripheral interfaces. Responsibilities include developing custom IP, improving DSP and interface reliability, integrating vendor IP cores, supporting communications architecture, and participating in spacecraft design studies. The engineer will work across simulation, synthesis, place and route, timing closure, and hardware testing.

Develop and execute strategic communications supporting brand, business, customer, and talent objectives. Create content across websites, newsletters, social media, presentations, advertising, internal communications, and announcements. Translate complex technical information into compelling narratives, manage social media strategy and analytics, support public relations and employer branding, and coordinate communications projects with leaders, technical experts, designers, and external partners.

Provides first-level IT support for employees, including onboarding and offboarding, device and account setup, software installation, troubleshooting, ticket management in Jira, documentation, inventory tracking, system maintenance, and security best practices. This full-time, four-month internship is on-site in Toronto and includes mentorship and hands-on exposure to IT support and infrastructure.

Design and implement FPGA code for satellite digital payloads, including DSP algorithms, software-defined radio modulation and demodulation, and embedded processor interfaces. Develop custom IP, improve DSP and interface reliability, integrate vendor IP, and support communications architecture and spacecraft design studies. Participate across simulation, synthesis, place and route, timing closure, and hardware testing using Xilinx FPGAs and industry-standard HDL and simulation tools.

Supports development and maintenance of backend services, satellite network infrastructure, and mission control automation. Collaborates with satellite operators and product managers to deliver reliable ground systems, writes tests and documentation, and participates in software and code reviews. The intern works hands-on across Kepler’s software stack and must complete a full-time internship beginning January 2027 while returning to post-secondary studies afterward.

Leads end-to-end development and execution of satellite programs from concept through on-orbit validation. Owns scope, schedule, cost, risk, technical reviews, performance reporting, subcontractor coordination, and cross-functional alignment across engineering, operations, and business development. The role manages the Tranche-2 satellite constellation, supports proposal efforts, drives mitigation plans, and presents program status to internal and external stakeholders.

Develop and maintain reliable embedded software for spacecraft and ground systems. Build secure communications, device drivers, kernel modules, hardware interfaces, platform services, automated tests, and validation tools. Contribute to architecture, design and code reviews, debugging, performance improvements, and system reliability. Collaborate across software, hardware, and operations teams while providing technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers.

Lead systems engineering for spacecraft and space-system programs: define architectures, translate mission requirements, manage interfaces and technical budgets, perform trade studies and risk analyses, drive verification and test campaigns, support integration/commissioning and operations, mentor engineers, and apply MBSE and AI-enabled tools to improve engineering workflows and deliver program technical products.

Senior technical authority for a spacecraft program responsible for systems-level engineering, technical decision-making, design reviews, risk tradeoffs, and delivering flight-ready spacecraft. Lead cross-discipline engineering execution, mentor senior engineers, resolve technical roadblocks, represent engineering to customers and leadership, and ensure alignment across Program Management, Manufacturing, Operations, and Product Assurance.

Lead and grow the hardware test engineering team to deliver test infrastructure, procedures, automation, and evidence packages for satellite hardware. Oversee validation, qualification, production test strategy, reliability campaigns, cross-functional alignment, and scalable processes while coaching engineers and advancing test automation, data systems, and facility capability.

Lead systems engineering for satellite programs from concept through delivery. Define architecture, requirements, interfaces, verification plans, and readiness evidence. Drive technical reviews, trade studies, risk closure, stakeholder alignment, and mentor engineering teams to ensure integration, mission readiness, and delivery across subsystems and suppliers.

Develop and maintain embedded software for spacecraft and ground systems, including device drivers, kernel modules, hardware interfaces, platform services, and secure communications. Build automated testing and validation tools, participate in architecture and code reviews, troubleshoot performance and reliability issues, and collaborate across software, hardware, and operations teams. The role also provides technical leadership and mentorship while supporting high-reliability satellite operations.

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