Senior FPGA Engineer
Summary
Senior FPGA Engineer leading RTL design and FPGA development for spaceborne radar systems, working with Verilog/VHDL, synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis on FPGA/SoC platforms.
Kapta Space is seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to lead RTL design and FPGA development for radar operation and algorithm implementation. Kapta Space is seeking FPGA Engineers with experience in mission-critical firmware development that have the drive and experience to complete projects independently and on time.
Role
- Assist multi-disciplinary team in creating firmware requirements
- Architect, design, and implement software for our Radar Sensor
- Work collaboratively with radar algorithm, hardware, software and mechanical engineers to build reliable, embedded firmware for the payload
- Evaluate implementation/maintenance, complexity and resource requirements (logic cells, embedded memory, DSP Slices) for control and signal processing routines in RTL. Produce trade-studies to support decision making
- Integrate RTL designs onto FPGA/SoC platforms with synthesis, place and route, and timing analysis
- Lead verification and validation of FPGA design on prototype and fight hardware
- Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly growing team
Required Qualifications
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 8+ years of experience in embedded firmware development (ideally for radar applications)
- Experience with bring up and verification of RTL-based designs on targeted HW
- Experience with low-speed interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, RS422, etc.)
- Comfortable with Git, CI, Code Reviews, and Version Control and organized enough to be productive in a lean startup environment
- Experience in RTL design with Verilog/VHDL for satellite applications
- Ability to read schematic diagrams
- Don’t meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.
Bonus if candidates have experience and skills in the following areas:
- Experience designing and implementing distributed digital systems
- Experience with Clock Domain Crossing and Timing Closure
- Experience with AMD Ultrascale+ platforms
- Experience with interfaces for high-speed ADC/DACs (JESD204)
- Experience implementing signal processing algorithms in RTL
- Experience with embedded designs with multiple FPGAs and peripheral interfaces (SPI, UART, GPIO, I2C, Ethernet)
- Experience implementing efficient, low latency data movement between FPGAs, processors, storage devices, and networking interfaces
- Working knowledge of networking stacks (Ethernet, TCP/IP)
- Ability to gain and hold a TS security clearance
Concerned you do not meet all the requirements? Not a problem - please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.
