Senior FPGA & Communications Engineer
Summary
Designs and optimizes FPGA-based communication systems and DSP algorithms for satellite Earth observation, focusing on waveforms, transceivers, and high-throughput data streaming.
At GalaxEye Space, we are pioneering the next generation of
Earth observation solutions with our cutting-edge satellite technology. As a
fast-growing space-tech startup, our mission is to revolutionize the way we
gather, process, and deliver geospatial intelligence. Join us to become a part
of an agile, high-impact team working at the forefront of space innovation.
Senior FPGA & Communications Engineer | 4+ Years
Experience
We are seeking an innovative and driven Senior FPGA &
Communications Engineer with a strong foundation in in developing HDL on FPGA .
In this role, you will bridge the gap between hardware and software,
architecting, designing, and optimizing advanced communication waveforms,
transceiver architectures, and DSP algorithms for cutting-edge wireless
applications.
Key Responsibilities
Knowing how to write precise Timing closure
constraints
Clock Domain Crossing (CDC): Mastery of safely moving
data between asynchronous domains (ADC, DAC, DSP, and host bus) using
asynchronous FIFOs and Gray coding to prevent metastability.
Fixed-Point Arithmetic & Bit Growth: Knowing how
to trace bit-width expansion across mixers and filters, applying proper
rounding and saturation to prevent overflows without degrading the
signal-to-noise ratio.
Multi-Rate Filter Design: Expertise in designing and
cascading Cascaded Integrator-Comb (CIC) and Finite Impulse Response (FIR)
filters, including passband droop compensation.
Hardened IP Integration: Experience instantiating and
interfacing with the hardened PCIe Gen3 x4 or SERDES interfaces for
high-throughput data streaming.
Good to have
Ability to structure HDL to infer FPGA pre-adders,
and map NCO tables to EBRs while saving LRAMs for deep packet buffering.
Digital Communication & RF Principles:
Understanding the impact of NCO phase truncation spurs, I/Q amplitude/phase
imbalances, DC offsets, and digital aliasing on analog RF performance.
Requirements
Qualification
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics &
Communication, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific or engineering
discipline.
• 4+ Years experience with solid record of having developed
