Senior Principal Solutions Architect

Overview

iDirect

Gov's hubs, satellite routers and network management software address the growing complexity of deploying and managing global IP networks. iDirect Government’s specialized technology includes transmission security (TRANSEC), Communication Signal Interference Removal (CSIR™) anti-jam technology and Open Antenna Modem Interface Protocol (OpenAMIP). We bring innovation, integration and intelligence to satellite-based IP communications that government and military organizations trust. By providing quality certifications with the most bandwidth-efficient, scalable and highly secure platform, we have rapidly become the technology provider of choice for military and government-driven mission-critical applications.

We are seeking for a team player with solid technical skills to work with our team of smart, creative, and dedicated engineering team-members. This position is based out of our Herndon, VA location with the option of a remote work schedule.

The position of Senior Principal Solutions Architect needs to have experience in satellite ground systems and related networking infrastructure. The candidate should have experience with satellite communications concepts, complex system management, and networking protocols and standards. Prior experience with VSAT waveforms is not required but is highly desirable. The Senior Principal Solutions Architect will be a member of the System Architecture team that is responsible for developing key technologies and platforms that are the basis for future hardware and software products for the company.

This is a highly technical position that requires deep theoretical understanding along with the ability to reduce theory to practice in the form of architectural and/or high-level design documents that an engineering team can use to implement functional systems. The candidate is expected to be a subject matter expert in their field and to be a guiding force in the engineering organization.

• Contributing to architectural vision and customer-driven objectives on adoption of next generation terrestrial, cellular, wireless, and satellite waveforms/propagation and their interactions, including for example DVB-S2X
• Performing systems engineering and architecture development using new and emerging technologies into the iDirect Government solution sets
• Ability to bring together a complex technology set including RF, interference mitigation, networking/routing, network management, monitoring, etc. into a usable solution for a non-satellite expert user community
• Producing mathematical simulations of communication channels enabling the study of both channel improvement measures, such as pre-distortion/pre-coding as well as overall satellite communication system efficiency, such as interference mitigation/cancellation, successive interference cancellation, multiuser detection (MUD), and phased array antenna techniques (both space and ground segments)
• Leading the design for further advances in adaptive TDMA, SCPC, DAMA, and IoT return channels, including modeling and design of control loops and algorithms for real time embedded system implementation
• Participating with standards bodies to ensure proposed standards affecting iDirect are technically sound and aligned with the company’s interests
• Partnering with customers, business development partners, and the executive management team on innovative advancements to our product line
• Winning customer confidence through integrity, thought leadership, technical communication, problem solving, capability demonstrations and requirements negotiations
• Writing internal and external facing documents about iDirect Government technology
• Facilitating collaboration with the platform team and other engineering…
