Space Systems FPGA & VLSI Engineer

Job Title

Space Systems FPGA & VLSI Engineer

Role Summary

Design-focused RTL/FPGA engineer on a space systems team building hardware for a LEO satellite communications system. Responsible for developing SystemVerilog RTL, validating FPGA platforms, and delivering timing-safe, high-performance designs across FPGA and ASIC flows.

Work closely with verification, ASIC, and software teams to integrate and validate flight or flight-like hardware.

Experience Level

Mid-level (Level - Mid-Career). Typical experience: 3–7 years in RTL/FPGA design or equivalent engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Write and maintain SystemVerilog RTL for FPGA and ASIC implementations.
• Implement, synthesize, and validate FPGA designs and platforms.
• Perform timing analysis and collaborate on timing closure to ensure timing-safe hardware.
• Collaborate with verification, ASIC, and software teams for integration and validation.
• Debug hardware and FPGA firmware on development boards and system-level tests.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred skills:

• Must-have: Strong experience writing SystemVerilog RTL and developing FPGA designs.
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with FPGA implementation, synthesis, and validation flows.
• Must-have: Experience with timing analysis and working toward timing-closed designs.
• Must-have: Proven ability to work cross-functionally with verification, ASIC, and software teams.
• Nice-to-have: Experience in space, satellite, or other high-reliability embedded systems.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with ASIC design flows or mixed FPGA/ASIC development.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
