AST SpaceMobile and our global partners are building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network to be accessible by standard smartphones. Called SpaceMobile, this ultra-powerful network is being designed to provide connectivity at 4G/5G speeds everywhere on the planet – on land, at sea and in flight. Position Overview We are seeking a Fleet Scheduler Data Scientist to define, build, and operationalize algorithms that optimize and control this network. This role will lead the design and deployment of AI and ML powered large-scale combinatorial optimization algorithms that drive predictive planning and reactive real-time control loops. This role requires a deep understanding of state-of-the-art techniques in combinatorial optimization of heterogeneous graphs for system scheduling, and must develop an understanding of a host of underlying systems and subsystems to efficiently incorporate their features into both predictive and reactive action planning loops. This person will work in coordination with software engineers to implement the algorithms and models that are developed, and will also work closely with aerospace, network, and operations engineering teams to translate physics- and constraint-driven system behavior into scalable prediction, optimization, and control architectures. Key Responsibilities: Own the architecture of AI and ML powered satellite and ground scheduling algorithms. Design and deploy large-scale combinatorial optimization algorithms, with approaches ranging from mixed-integer programming and heuristics to reinforcement-learning-based solvers operating on heterogeneous graphs. Incorporate state-of-the-art techniques in combinatorial optimization, learning-augmented planning, graph-based scheduling, and computational efficiency. Create a multi-tiered scheduling system, from high-level control of major satellite activities through mid-level control of system configurations and settings. Develop physics-informed ML models that accura…
