About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, math, or another engineering discipline.
At least 2 years of professional FPGA development experience.
Experience using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
Experience developing for Xilinx FPGA/SOC products.

Responsibilities

Design and implement all layers of satellite communication modems, from digital signal processing blocks to network protocols.
Analyze timing and resource requirements for existing and next-generation radio frequency products.
Create end-to-end test harnesses integrated into continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines.
Work closely with radio frequency software engineers to design high-performance libraries bridging FPGA and system-on-chip.

As an FPGA engineer at Impulse Space, you will be responsible for taking complex protocols and algorithms and accelerating them into high throughput FPGA blocks. Working closely with RF software engineers you will write libraries to help bridge the gap between fabric acceleration and high-level applications. Your code will not only fly in space but become the backbone for ground systems that will push millions of mission packets per second.

About the Company

Impulse Space

In-space propulsion and payload mobility

Impulse Space builds in-space mobility services and propulsion to move payloads after launch. Its products include Mira for precise maneuvering and rendezvous, Helios high-energy kick stage, Caravan rideshare to higher-energy orbits, and propulsion lines Saiph, Deneb, and Rigel. These tools act as in-space tugs and stages to push, dock, and deploy payloads in orbit. Led by SpaceX veteran Tom Mueller, Impulse Space uses flight-proven hardware and a growing network of facilities to make reaching higher-energy orbits faster and cheaper, expanding access for customers.
