Dynamic Scheduler DSP Algorithm Engineer
AST SpaceMobile, Lanham, Maryland +1
The role
The Dynamic Scheduler DSP Algorithm Engineer designs and optimizes a resource-allocation algorithm for the satellite payload system, working at the intersection of combinatorial optimization, signal processing, and system-level performance trade-offs. This person designs, analyzes, and improves optimization algorithms for large-scale resource-allocation problems, balancing competing system objectives — efficiency, coverage, and performance — and validating solutions against simulation and real system metrics rather than theoretical guarantees alone.
The role requires strong communication skills and comfort working across algorithm, system, and hardware constraints to ensure solutions scale efficiently to large problem sizes.
