Own FPGA RTL development from blank sheet to flight.
Develop FPGA logical architecture and requirements in collaboration with other engineering
disciplines including defining HW/SW interfaces between fabric logic and processing subsystems.
Develop FPGA RTL code for Microsemi FPGAs and other manufacturer SoCs in either SystemVerilog or VHDL.
Perform design verification including simulations, test benches, timing analysis, and hardware testing.
Lead design reviews, demonstrate requirement traceability, and create documentation for FPGA operation and interfacing with other SW and FPGA systems.
Develop and participate in test campaigns ranging from unit level manual tests, unit automated tests, and system level tests.

What you bring to this role:

10+ years of experience in FPGA RTL architecture, development, verification, deployment, and maintenance.
Skilled at SystemVerilog or VHDL.
Skilled in at least 1 scripting language (TCL, shell, Python, etc).
Skilled in verification techniques, and timing/stability analysis.
Proficiency in understanding PCB designs and reading schematics.
Proficiency in understanding embedded software.
Proficiency with AXI protocols (at least AXI4 family). · Knowledge of common bus interfaces (I2C, SPI, etc).
Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment.

Bonus points for the following:

Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
Expertise in implementing high speed digital communications interfaces.
Experience designing for space environments including radiation impacts and mitigation.
Proficiency with Microsemi devices and tools.
Proficiency with lab tools and working with hardware.
Familiarity with SystemRDL.
Understanding of OVM/UVM framework and methodology.

Additional Requirements

This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $150,000 - $250,000 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.
