Role

As an FPGA Engineer you'll be responsible for the architecture, design, verification, and test of RTL designs for the FPGAs that go into the spacecraft. You will work closely with the software, DSP and hardware teams to achieve design requirements.

  • Design RTL for high performance systems including software defined radios, avionics and ground systems, for commercial and US Government projects
  • Work with multiple FPGAs and toolchains
  • Interface FPGAs with high speed data converters, memories, MCUs
  • Design, implement and test radiation mitigation schemes on FPGA
  • Collaborate closely with DSP/radio algorithm designer
  • Collaborate closely with embedded firmware and software engineers
  • Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team

  • US Citizenship or Green Card (legal requirement; no exceptions)
  • Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent
  • 2+ years of experience
  • Passion for hardware development in fast-paced environments with hands-on design and development
  • Experience designing, implementing, verifying and testing high throughput systems implemented on FPGAs
  • Strong proficiency with Verilog (preferably SystemVerilog) for both synthesis and verification

Bonus Experience

  • MS or PhD in computer engineering or equivalent
  • Experience in at least one domain beyond logic design: DSP/radio design, software, hi-reliability design (fault analysis, recovery)
  • Xilinx FPGA experience
  • Modern communication systems (RF, IF/IQ, time/frequency domains, modulation)
  • Vivado IDE, TCL
  • System level estimates and implications of power, thermal, and real estate
  • High speed data converters (ADCs, DACs, JESD204)
  • Circuit level debugging
  • Digital communication theory and implementation (LDPC)
  • Space-based systems
  • UVM
