Satellite and Spectrum Regulatory and Coordination Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

The Satellite and Spectrum Regulatory and Coordination Engineer will lead and execute the technical aspects of the strategy for enabling and protecting E-Space’s use of radio frequency spectrum and satellite orbits through ITU coordination processes and national/regional satellite service authorization procedures. The ideal candidate has expert experience in defining, executing and defending sharing and co-existence studies and deep knowledge of the applicable Radio Regulations, Rules of Procedure, and ITU-R Recommendations.

This position will report to the Director of Regulatory and Market Access and will work closely with the technical leads across the E-Space organization and the regional market access directors. This role is eligible for remote work across the US or Europe.
