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.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement all layers of satellite communication modems from DSP blocks to network protocols.
- Analyze timing and resource requirements for existing and next generation RF products.
- Create end-to-end test harnesses with integrations into CI/CD pipelines.
- Work closely with RF software engineers as you design high performance libraries to bridge the gap between FPGA and SOC.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, math or other engineering discipline.
- 2+ years of professional FPGA development experience.
- Experience using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
- Experience developing for Xilinx FPGA/SOC products.
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Experience with Xilinx Vivado and Petalinux tooling.
- Demonstrated experience of DSP fundamentals such as filters, and PLLs.
- Exposure to fundamentals of satellite communications, encoders, PSK, symbol synchronization.
- Experience developing software for embedded systems in C++ or C.
- Experience with FPGA block stimulation and test benching.
- Familiarity with satellite communication standards (DVB-S2X, CCSDS).
