Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with Radar, Communications, and RF engineers to define, implement, and test various signal processing algorithms and digital logic functions in FPGAs
  • Work with HW Design Engineers and Embedded SW engineers to rapidly prototype and bring up satellite payloads that combine FPGA, processors, firmware, sensors, and networking functionality
  • Take full responsibility for executing RTL design with or without HLS (High-Level Synthesis), physical implementation, timing closure, and validation through simulation
  • Create robust software infrastructure using modern coding techniques to ensure that FPGA images seamlessly integrate into our hardware platform's Board Support Package while also functioning independently

Array Labs specializes in creating high-quality 3D imagery using a network of small satellites called radar cubesats. These satellites work together to capture images of the same area from different angles, resulting in 3D images that are significantly more detailed than those produced by other methods. The company serves various clients, including government agencies and urban planners, who need accurate imagery for tasks like mapping and disaster response. Array Labs operates on a subscription model, allowing clients to access its continuously updated imagery data. Additionally, it offers a pilot program for customers to help refine the product based on their feedback. This approach enables Array Labs to provide timely and precise data, setting it apart from competitors in the geospatial imaging market. The goal of Array Labs is to deliver cost-effective, high-resolution imagery that meets the diverse needs of its users.
