Mission Overview
At
AlgoForge Aerospace, data is our most critical payload. As an RF & Telemetry Engineer, you own the vital, invisible umbilical cord between the AF-Series launch vehicle and Mission Control.
This isn't building a consumer Wi-Fi router. You are responsible for ensuring high-fidelity RF links survive the extreme EMI, acoustic shock, and plasma blackout of a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) ascent. From the custom Node 2 Flight Computer to the Node 3 Ground Station, you guarantee that our telemetry stream never drops.
Operational Objectives
Take absolute ownership of RF link budgets, guaranteeing unbroken command uplinks and high-bandwidth telemetry downlinks under extreme orbital dynamics.
Design, characterize, and aggressively tune custom antenna architectures (433MHz/915MHz LoRa, S-Band) using VNAs to eliminate dead zones.
Develop ultra-low-latency, bare-metal C++ firmware to serialize, compress, and transmit high-frequency sensor streams (IMU, load cells) with zero packet loss.
Fortify flight avionics against catastrophic EMI/RFI generated by the VORTEX-1 engine's ignition relays, high-voltage servos, and plasma exhaust.
Bridge the hardware-software divide, piping raw receiver streams directly into our Next.js Mission Director Dashboard for real-time Launch Director decisions.
Mission Prerequisites
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or Telecommunications with a proven track record of shipping physical RF hardware.
Deep, intuitive mastery of RF circuit design, impedance matching, Software Defined Radios (SDR), and rigorous link budget analysis.
Uncompromising embedded C/C++ programming skills, specifically pushing microcontrollers and high-speed buses (SPI/I2C) to their absolute limits.
Expert understanding of complex modulation schemes (LoRa, FSK, QPSK), forward error correction (FEC), and packet framing protocols.
A relentless troubleshooting mindset—you must be able to hunt down microsecond latency spikes and parasitic RF noise using spectrum analyzers.
— Deployment Benefits —
The Absolute Umbilical
If your link drops, we go blind. You hold the vehicle's lifeline.
Antenna to API
Own the entire data pipeline, from bare-metal RF propagation to JSON payload ingestion.
Hostile Environments
Design electronics that thrive in the brutal acoustic environment of a detonation engine.
Ground Truth
The telemetry you secure is the only proof that our physics models actually work.
