Ready to help build the future of connectivity from space?
We're looking for a Senior FPGA Engineer to join a groundbreaking satellite communications program supporting next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology. This is a unique opportunity to work on advanced phased-array payload hardware that will power one of the world's most ambitious satellite networks.
In this role, you'll be much more than an FPGA designer. You'll work directly with hardware in the lab, taking designs from concept through RTL development, implementation, timing closure, hardware bring-up, and validation. This is a highly hands-on engineering opportunity where your work will contribute to technology that operates in space.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop FPGA RTL using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL
- Implement and optimize high-speed interfaces including JESD204, PCIe, Aurora, and Ethernet
- Drive timing closure, clocking architecture, constraints,
and performance optimization
- Perform board bring-up, hardware validation, and debugging using JTAG, ILA, ChipScope, SignalTap, and lab equipment
- Develop FPGA solutions for high-speed data movement and communications between custom silicon devices
- Prototype current capabilities for future ASIC development efforts
- Collaborate closely with board design, systems, validation, and hardware engineering teams
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of FPGA/RTL development experience
- Strong expertise in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and/or VHDL
- Experience with high-speed serial protocols and FPGA transceivers
- Proven success with timing closure on complex FPGA designs
- Hands-on hardware debugging and board bring-up experience
- Experience with AMD/Xilinx or Intel/Altera FPGA platforms
