FPGA Engineer Verified today
About the role
You will work in the Flight Software Team, designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA logic for satellite subsystems and onboard computing. You collaborate closely with electronics and software engineers to integrate FPGA modules into system architectures, from concept through full environmental testing.
What you'll do
- Design, implement, and verify FPGA logic for satellite subsystems and onboard computing
- Develop HDL code in VHDL and Verilog to interface with onboard software modules written in Rust
- Simulate, synthesise, and validate FPGA designs using industry-standard tools
- Work with electronics and software engineers to integrate FPGA modules into system architectures
- Develop test benches and verification frameworks to ensure timing, functionality, and reliability
- Participate in full hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and environmental testing
- Maintain documentation, configuration control, and process traceability throughout the design lifecycle
- Continuously optimise performance, power, and resource utilisation within constraints
What you'll bring
- Strong proficiency in VHDL and Verilog with simulation tools such as ModelSim and Vivado
- Familiarity with Rust, C, or Python for software integration
- Understanding of Agile and V-model lifecycles and FPGA verification processes
- Awareness of ECSS design standards and cleanroom/ESD protocols
- A structured, detail-oriented mindset with a passion for innovation
