FPGA SoC Embedded Engineer (RTOS, Xilinx/Intel)

Team: Engineering & Operations

Location: Saratoga, CA

Commitment: Full-Time

Workplace Type: onsite

Salary:


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 embedded engineer to develop real-time software on advanced SoC platforms. This role involves building firmware, working with RTOS-based systems, and interacting closely with FPGA and hardware components. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms and is comfortable working across the hardware/software boundary.

Responsibilities:

    • Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for SoC systems
    • Work with real-time operating systems and multi-threaded applications
    • Implement low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
    • Debug system-level issues involving hardware and software interaction
    • Interface with FPGA designs, including register access, control paths, and data movement
    • Collaborate closely with FPGA and hardware teams

Qualifications:

    • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
    • Experience with at least one real-time operating system (mandatory)
    • Strong C/C++ programming skills
    • Hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms (mandatory)
    • Understanding of interrupts, scheduling, and embedded systems

Preferred Skills:

    • Experience with Zephyr
    • Familiarity with Embedded Linux
    • Experience with JTAG or low-level debugging tools
    • Knowledge of hardware/software interfaces (e.g., memory-mapped I/O, DMA)
    • Knowledge of 5G PHY and MAC layer concepts (desirable)

What Success Looks Like:

    • Ability to build stable real-time applications on FPGA SoC platforms
    • Clearly understands the hardware/software boundary
    • Debugs efficiently across system layers
    • Executes effectively and adapts quickly
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $120,000 - $220,000 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.
 
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
