Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are seeking an experienced ASIC Design Engineer to contribute to the design, development, and verification of our next-generation semiconductor products. The ideal candidate will have expertise in ARM SoC implementations, DSP algorithms, and wireless modem IP verification, with a strong background in ASIC design principles.

What you will be doing:

Design and implement ARM-based SoC solutions for applications including 5G, IoT, etc.
Develop and optimize DSP algorithms for ASICs, focusing on efficiency and low power consumption
Verify wireless modem IP blocks, perform gate-level synthesis, and conduct simulations
Collaborate with system architects to define SoC architecture, DSP specifications, and wireless modem IP requirements
Develop RTL code for SoC components, DSP modules, and wireless modem IP
Perform functional verification, validation, and gate-level simulations
Work with layout engineers for efficient physical implementation
Conduct performance analysis and optimization of designs
Participate in design reviews and mentor junior engineers
Stay updated with advancements in ARM architecture, DSP algorithms, wireless modem technologies, and semiconductor design

What you bring to this role:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
5+ years of experience in ASIC design with ARM-based SoC implementations, DSP algorithms, and wireless modem IP verification
Proficiency in RTL design using Verilog or VHDL
Strong understanding of ARM architecture, DSP theory, wireless modem technologies, and AMBA protocols
Experience with EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics)
Knowledge of synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and system-level design tools
Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, communication, and teamwork skills

Bonus points for the following:

Experience with low-power design techniques
Knowledge of high-speed interface protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, Ethernet)
Familiarity with ARM-based firmware/software development and DSP algorithm development using MATLAB
Experience with formal verification methodologies and DFT/DFx principles
Understanding of fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic optimization
Experience with scripting languages (Python, Perl) for automation

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $140,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
