Staff FPGA Engineer (DSP)

The Staff Satellite FPGA Engineer -Signal Processing will participate in all aspects of the development and test of avionics FPGA RTL designs for E-Space satellites. The ideal candidate has 10+ years of experience in FPGA firmware development including RTL design, simulations, analysis, verification, and HW testing.

This position will report to the Senior Director, Product & Systems Integration Semiconductor Development team. This position is based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you will do:

• The functions of this role include providing strategic direction and implementation in the following areas:
• Own FPGA RTLdevelopmentin either SystemVerilog or VHDL from blank sheet to flight.
• Develop FPGA logical architecture and requirements in collaboration with other engineering disciplines including defining HW/SW interfaces between fabric logic and processing subsystems.
• Implement a digital channelizer beamformer from bit-accurate reference models
• Drive part selection and define PCB architecture
• Perform design verification including simulations, test benches, timing analysis, and hardware testing.
• Lead design reviews, demonstrate requirement traceability, and create documentation for FPGA operation and interfacing with other SW and FPGA systems.
• Develop and participate in test campaigns ranging from unit level manual tests, unit automated tests, and system level tests.

What you bring to this role:

• 10+ years of experience in FPGA RTL architecture, development, verification, deployment, and maintenance.
• Skilled at SystemVerilog or VHDL.
• Skilled in at least 1 scripting language (TCL, shell, Python, etc).
• Skilled in verification techniques, and timing/stability analysis.
• Proficiency in understanding PCB designs and reading schematics.
• Proficiency in understanding embedded software.
• Knowledge of ADC/DAC interfaces and JESD204.
• Expertise in implementing high speed digital communications interfaces.
• Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment.

Additional Requirements

This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
