Senior FPGA Engineer

FPGA Engineer – Drive Innovation in Spaceborne Digital Systems!

Camarillo, CA | Onsite

We are seeking an FPGA Engineer to join a dynamic engineering team building advanced electronics for next‑generation satellite and defense applications. In this role, you will develop and verify complex digital designs, working from concept through to lab validation and delivery. This position is well‑suited for an engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, takes ownership of their work, and collaborates closely with cross‑disciplinary teams.

This is an opportunity to contribute to high‑visibility programs where your designs will directly impact mission success in some of the most demanding operating environments. You will be at the forefront of integrating cutting‑edge digital logic with RF, embedded systems, and signal processing technologies.

We are a California‑based technology company delivering state‑of‑the‑art RF and digital subsystems for aerospace and defense platforms. Our engineers participate in the complete lifecycle of product development, design, qualification, testing, and delivery, providing a unique opportunity to see ideas evolve into flight‑ready hardware. With strong commercial and government momentum, our portfolio spans diverse projects that are shaping the future of satellite communications and defense electronics.

• Design, implement, synthesize, and verify digital logic designs in FPGA devices.
• Collaborate with DSP engineers to translate mathematical signal processing models into optimized VHDL implementations.
• Determine when to integrate third‑party IP cores versus developing functions internally.
• Write and maintain VHDL code for key functions including signal processing, embedded processor interfaces, network connectivity, and clock management.
• Manage and maintain source code within version control systems.
• Partner with embedded software developers to define interfaces between programmable logic and processor cores.
• Develop simulation environments to validate correctness of VHDL implementations, including bit‑accurate signal processing verification.
• Perform bench‑level testing by synthesizing designs, loading bitstreams, and assisting with system‑level validation of FPGA hardware.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 3+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Proficiency in digital logic design, simulation, and synthesis using VHDL.
• Hands‑on experience with AMD/Xilinx FPGA devices and development tools, including Vivado.
• Strong understanding of high‑sample‑rate communication or signal processing systems implemented in FPGA hardware.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Windows OS and Excel.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong analytical mindset with proven problem‑solving abilities.

• Familiarity with revision control systems such as Git or Mercurial.
• Knowledge of digital signal processing concepts, sampling theory, and spectral analysis.
• Experience with MATLAB for modeling, simulation, or algorithm validation.
• Exposure to mixed hardware‑software environments and FPGA/embedded system integration.

• Be part of a growing team shaping the next generation of space and defense technology.
• Full project ownership from design through lab and system‑level integration.
• Exposure to diverse projects at the intersection of RF, DSP, and digital design.
• Collaborative and fast‑moving engineering culture.
• Opportunity for career development in a high‑impact environment.
• Comprehensive benefits including PTO, medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement plan participation.
