AI Summary

Staff FPGA Engineer focused on DSP and signal processing for space avionics; leads RTL FPGA design, verification, and test campaigns from SystemVerilog/VHDL to flight-ready hardware.

About this role

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

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:
