Job Description
Role Description
As an Electrical/FPGA Engineer, you will focus on design, development, and integration of FPGA-based digital systems for use in spaceborne and high-reliability environments.
- Design, implement, and test digital systems using FPGAs (e.g., Xilinx, Microsemi, Intel/Altera) for space applications
- Develop HDL code (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) for FPGA modules, including simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis
- Design and analyze digital and analog/mixed-signal electrical circuits, including power supplies, sensor interfaces, and communication buses
- Develop hardware schematics and support PCB layout for FPGA-based subsystems
- Support hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation in lab environments
- Define connector and cable harnessing for space environments
- Integrate FPGAs with embedded processors, sensors, and high-speed interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, LVDS, SpaceWire, Ethernet)
- Contribute to system-level architectural decisions and participate in design reviews
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, software, and systems teams to ensure cohesive hardware solutions
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- 4–5 years of relevant experience in electrical and FPGA design
- Proficiency in VHDL or Verilog and FPGA development toolchains (e.g., Vivado, Quartus, Libero)
- Proficient in HDL simulation tools (Modelsim, Vivado Simulator, VCS) and experience developing SystemVerilog-based simulation environments
- Experience with board-level electrical design, schematic capture, and layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD)
- Familiarity with signal integrity, power distribution, and EMI/EMC best practices
- Strong debugging skills using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers)
- Working knowledge of hardware development for harsh environments (radiation tolerance, thermal constraints)
- Eligible to hold a security clearance
Benefits
- Open Time Off
- Paid Parental Leave
- Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
- 401k Matching
- Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Accounts, Dependent Care FSA
- Wellness Stipend
