Early Career FPGA Design Engineer - Space- Remote Sensing, Onsite

Job Overview

We are seeking a FPGA Design Engineer to provide technical expertise for remote sensing and satellite systems. The successful applicant will have experience with digital designs for embedded applications, for example: processor board design (both CPUs and/or GPUs); FPGA design and HDL (specifically VHDL) experience; high-speed network and interface electronics; and high-speed analog to digital interfaces. Due to the nature of the job the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.

$102,400 - $199,700

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline, or an equivalent combination of directly relevant education and engineering or scientific experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform independent research and development.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance.

• Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g., independent project, thesis, or dissertation).
• Ability to work independently and collaborate well in a multidisciplinary team of designers and test engineers.
• Outstanding verbal and written skills, including the ability to develop and present briefings that are clear and compelling.
• Proven ability to be self‑motivated and work independently as well as in a multi‑disciplinary team environment, building consensus and resolving issues.
• Experience in the design, development, test, and implementation of electrical systems, especially high‑speed digital electronics.
• Experience in the development of FPGAs and SoCs using toolsets (e.g. Xilinx Vitis and Vivado toolset, Microchip Libero SoC design suite).
• Experience in HDL verification techniques (e.g. HDL test benches).
• Experience in test‑driven development practices (e.g. CI/CD).
• Proficiency with space radiation effects in digital electronics (e.g. single event effects).
• Leadership experience in a technically relevant project.
• Strong organization and planning skills and ability to tackle more than one assignment at a time.
• Desire to learn new skills as required and develop expertise in areas that may be unfamiliar.
• Active Q and TS//SCI clearances.
