The Communication Architectures Department performs trade studies, analyses, and simulations to optimize the overall communications performance of terrestrial, satellite, launch vehicle, and ground-based systems. With today's proliferated systems, rapid acquisition timelines, and enhanced resiliency, radio frequency (RF) spectrum is contested. Architecting this generation of comm systems while proactively addressing spectrum engineering is the mission of CAD.
The successful candidate will leverage CAD's geographically dispersed team of comm architecting and spectrum engineers and will coordinate with the broader Communication Technologies and Engineering Division (CTED) team. Main-mission communication satellites, wideband links, command and telemetry, and terrestrial networks, along with their enabling technologies, are the domain of the CTED. The division comprises all aspects, from architecture to implementation; our engineers work directly with corporate customers to ensure robust and resilient communications.
