FPGA Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Develop: Author and maintain general-purpose and mission-specific RTL/firmware for space electronics, FPGAs, microcontrollers, and RTOS-based systems.
• Build Critical Interfaces: Develop firmware for vital peripheral interfaces, including Converters (ADC/DAC) and high-speed communication links (SpaceWire, SPI, CameraLink, 1Gb+ Ethernet, MIL-1553B).
• Create and optimize automated FPGA platform build scripts, and deploy firmware directly to physical hardware.
• Optimize for Space: Fine-tune embedded software to ensure fault tolerance and high reliability in radiation-hardened environments.
• Test & Validate: Conduct hardware-in-the-loop system integration, testing, and validation under both simulated and real-world aerospace conditions.
• Ensure Excellence: Support the team in maintaining alignment with rigorous space industry standards (NASA, ESA, MIL-STD).

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Core Experience: 2–3 years of professional experience designing with Hardware Description Languages (VHDL or Verilog).
• Hands-on Skills: Proven experience deploying firmware to physical devices, as well as conducting system integration, testing, and validation.
• Security: Ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance.
