We are seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to develop, integrate, and support FPGA-based solutions for satellite payloads, radios, and avionics subsystems. This role spans architecture, implementation, verification, hardware bring-up, and on-orbit support, and will work closely with embedded software, systems, and hardware teams across R&D and production programs.
Job Responsibility:
Design, implement, and verify FPGA firmware for satellite payloads, radios, and avionics subsystems
Develop and optimize DSP pipelines, including signal processing, compression, filtering, modulation, and data reduction
Collaborate with Embedded Linux engineers to define hardware/software interfaces, register maps, drivers, and data paths
Bring up and debug Xilinx SoC platforms (e.g., Zynq, Zynq UltraScale+) from power-on through full system operation
Support hardware integration, environmental testing (thermal-vacuum, vibration), and on-orbit troubleshooting
Perform timing closure, resource optimization, and power/performance trade studies
Participate in architecture definition and design reviews
mentor junior engineers as appropriate
Contribute to fast-paced R&D, proof-of-concept, and production programs
Requirements:
BS with 8–10 years, MS with 6–8 years, or PhD with 3–5 years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance
8+ years of FPGA design experience
Strong proficiency in Verilog and/or VHDL
Extensive experience with Xilinx toolchains (Vivado, Vitis, IP Integrator)
Experience with simulation and verification tools (ModelSim, XSIM, MATLAB, Python-based testbenches)
Experience with Xilinx Zynq or UltraScale+ SoCs in Embedded Linux environments
Experience creating AXI peripherals and DMA engines for Linux-based systems
Experience with radiation-tolerant or fault-tolerant FPGA designs (TMR, ECC, scrubbing)
