One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we’re on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We’re looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.

Come join us as we build complete antenna systems "from RF to bits."

In this role you will work on:

• Radio frequency transmit/receive electronics, high-speed modems, and software systems that deliver a stream of bits to the end customer
• Mechanical structures that form the antenna
• Motors and controllers that position the reflectors

At our Atlanta, GA (Duluth) office we have outdoor test facilities including a multi-system, multi-pad boresite range, two planar nearfield ranges, and nearby a 1500-foot elevated pattern range with associated control room. With proven capability in Satellite communications, and antennas, Viasat is able to provide groundbreaking communications systems for both commercial and government customers. You can use your project engineering expertise to technically lead the building of the next generation of sophisticated antenna products and satellite communications terminals!

As an authority in your field, you will coordinate and lead all technical aspects of an antenna systems program! Beginning with requirements and concept discussions, analysis with potential customers, the generation of a formal proposal, resulting in a contract award. You would own the detailed system design, and lead all aspects of the implementation, test, system verification, delivery, and sell off of the completed system to the customer. You will be a key member of the division involved with the various aspects of ground terminals, including business development, proposal generation, systems engineering, and project engineering
