AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected. Position Overview 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. Key Responsibilities: Design, analyze, and improve optimization algorithms for large-scale resource-allocation problems. Balance competing system objectives (efficiency, coverage, performance) and formalize the trade-offs involved. Validate algorithms against simulation and real system metrics, not just theoretical guarantees. Ensure solutions scale efficiently to large problem sizes. Qualifications Education: Experience: Strong background in optimization (combinatorial and/or convex), with hands-on problem-solving experience. Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for algorithm prototyping. Ability to translate mathematical/technical specifications into working code. Preferred Qualifications: Background in wireless communications, satellite systems, or signal processing. Graduate degree (MS/PhD) in EE, applied math, operations research, or CS with an optimization focus. Soft Skills: Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across algorithm, system, and hardware constraints. Technology Stack: Python and/or MATLAB for algorithm prototyping. Combinatorial and convex optimization frameworks and solvers. Simulation and system-metric validation tooling for large-scale resource-allocation problems. Physical Requirements Ability to lift up to 25 lbs. Ability to use a computer for extended periods. Ability to work in an office environment, with occasional exposure to lab or test environments to validate algorithms against real system metrics. Ability to travel occasionally to support system validation or cross-team collaboration as needed. This job description may not be inclusive to the duties and responsibilities listed. Additional tasks may be assigned to the employee from time to time or the scope of the job may change as needed by business demands .

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
