Job Description

You will be working  integrated in a multidisciplinary team together with System, ground and satellite equipment’s, VHDL, SW and HW engineers.

You will perform the following tasks:

• Design and develop algorithms for quantum key distribution (QKD) tailored for satellite communication.
• Utilize Model-Based Design principles, specifically leveraging MathWorks tools such as Simulink and MATLAB for system modeling and simulation.
•  Implement and test the algorithms in a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environment to validate their performance under realistic conditions.
•  Work closely with VHDL & SW engineers to ensure seamless implementation of the algorithms on FPGA/Microprocessor/SoC platforms for satellite hardware.
• Document all development processes, methodologies, and results to ensure compliance with project standards and facilitate knowledge transfer within the team."

Qualifications
