What we offer

## Description

As an FPGA Engineer you'll be responsible for the architecture, the design, the verification, and test of RTL designs for the FPGAs that go into the spacecraft. You will work closely with the software, DSP and hardware teams to achieve design requirements.

Role

 * Design RTL for high performance systems including software defined radios, avionics and ground systems, for commercial and US Government projects
 * Work with multiple FPGAs and toolchains
 * Interface FPGAs with high speed data converters, memories, MCUs
 * Design, implement and test radiation mitigation schemes on FPGA
 * Collaborate closely with DSP/radio algorithm designer
 * Collaborate closely with embedded firmware and software engineers
 * Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team.
