FPGA Engineer II

To conform with the United States Government Space Technology Export Regulations, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., conditional resident, asylee or refugee (protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

About the role

We are looking to add an FPGA Engineer II to our team. If you enjoy working in a startup environment, and are passionate about developing leading-edge hardware for satellites, spacecraft, and aerospace systems, we would like to hear from you. In this position, you will contribute to the development of FPGA circuits and systems through all phases of the development process.

The ideal candidate will have experience in FPGA design, verification, test, and deployment at the HDL level. FPGA HDL designs will include high-speed serial interfaces and data streams, digital processing cores, multiple clocks and clock domains, and management interfaces. Testing, validation, and verification will also be central tasks for any FPGA design. Experience in digital signal processing or board-level hardware design is also desirable.

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and implement FPGA systems at the HDL level
• Develop FPGA circuits and systems through all phases of the development process
• Work with high-speed serial interfaces, data streams, digital processing cores, and multiple clock domains
• Perform testing, validation, and verification of FPGA designs
• Utilize lab instruments such as digital oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF signal generators, and vector signal analyzers

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science (BS) or Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering from an accredited university or institution
• Minimum of 2 years of industry experience in FPGA design, analysis, and implementation at the HDL level
• Expertise in FPGA design and verification (Verilog/VHDL, HDL coder, Xilinx’s Vivado, Modelsim, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with lab instruments such as digital oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF signal generators, and vector signal analyzers
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace design and qualification experience
• Worst-case analysis, failure method and criticality analyses, and reliability analysis
• Experience with board-level hardware design
• Familiarity with communications systems, such as digital signal processing

Benefits

• Company stock options
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• HSA and FSA options
• Life and disability insurance
• Retirement plans
