About us
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.
What you'll do
Viasat's Government business is poised for significant growth in the coming years, bringing critical connectivity solutions to our war fighters across the battle space! Our solutions serve user groups and market segments across all services as well as within the intelligence and international government communities. As a System Design Engineer, you will be responsible for requirement generation, requirement management, system level architecture definitions, and detailed system design decisions.
The day-to-day
The System Design Engineer role involves collaborating with Product Management, engineering leads, and customers to break down high level product requirements into detailed system and subsystem design solutions. The System Design Engineer must also work with engineering development teams to iterate on the system design solutions over the lifecycle of the product, to ensure we are consistently meeting customer needs in a constantly evolving market. This requires an affinity for thinking about users, use cases, and a technical understanding of the underlying infrastructure (data, backend services, cloud architectures, SATCOM systems, and networking) required to support the product. An innate ability to adapt quickly to changing needs and market environments is also crucial.
