FPGA Engineer

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent
• 2+ years of experience
• A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development
• Experience in designing, implementing, and testing high throughput systems implemented on FPGAs
• Strong proficiency with Verilog (preferably System Verilog) for both synthesis and verification
• (Desirable) MS or PhD in computer engineering or equivalent
• (Desirable) Considerable expertise in at least 1 domain beyond just the logic design. This could be DSP/radio design, software, hi-rel design (e.g. fault analysis & recover), etc
• (Desirable) Experience with Xilinx FPGAs
• (Desirable) Experience with modern communication systems (RF, IF/IQ, time/freq domains, modulation)
• (Desirable) Experience with Vivado IDE, TCL
• (Desirable) Familiarity with system level estimates and implications of power, thermal, and real estate
• (Desirable)
  
  Experience with high speed data converters (ADCs, DACs, JESD
  204)
• (Desirable) Experience with circuit level debugging
• (Desirable) Experience with digital communication theory and implementation, such as LDPC implementations
• (Desirable) Experience with space-based systems

• As an FPGA Engineer you'll be responsible for the architecture, the design, the verification, and test of RTL designs for the FPGAs that go into the spacecraft
• You will work closely with the software, DSP and hardware teams to achieve design requirements
• Design RTL for high data rate, software defined radios
• Work with multiple FPGAs and tool chains
• Interface FPGAs with high speed data converters, memories, MCUs
• Design, implement and test radiation mitigation schemes on FPGA
• Collaborate closely with DSP/radio algorithm designer
• Collaborate closely with embedded firmware and software engineers
• Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team
