FPGA Engineer Seen this week
About the role
As an FPGA Engineer, you'll own the architecture, design, verification and test of RTL designs for FPGAs deployed in spacecraft. You will work closely with software, DSP and hardware teams to meet design requirements.
What you'll do
- 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 and MCUs
- Design, implement and test radiation mitigation schemes on FPGA
- Collaborate closely with DSP and radio algorithm designers
- Collaborate closely with embedded firmware and software engineers
- Assist in recruiting and hiring additional team members
Requirements
- US Citizenship or Green Card (legal requirement; no exceptions)
- Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering or equivalent
- 2+ years of experience
- Passion for hardware development in fast-paced, hands-on environments
- Experience designing, implementing, verifying and testing high-throughput FPGA systems
- Strong proficiency with Verilog (preferably SystemVerilog) for synthesis and verification
Bonus skills
- MS or PhD in computer engineering or equivalent
- Experience in domains beyond logic design: DSP, radio design, software, or hi-reliability design (fault analysis and recovery)
- Xilinx FPGA experience
- Knowledge of modern communication systems (RF, IF/IQ, time and frequency domains, modulation)
- Vivado IDE and TCL experience
- System-level understanding of power, thermal and area implications
- High-speed data converter experience (ADCs, DACs, JESD204)
- Circuit-level debugging
- Digital communication theory and implementation (LDPC)
- Space-based systems experience
- UVM experience
Compensation and benefits
Base salary: $140,000-$205,000 USD. Compensation includes equity (incentive stock options), company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance, 401(k) retirement planning, flexible PTO and free on-site catered meals.
