Key Job Responsibilities The Role Create FPGA solutions to support LEO's satellite communication system. This is a unique opportunity to define a new system with few legacy constraints. The FPGA design engineer will work with systems teams to define, develop, implement, test, and release FPGA based solutions to enable LEO. This will focus on creating digital designs for networking functions using the latest generations of FPGA technologies and modern FPGA design processes and tools. In this role you will Have ownership of one or more FPGA bitstreams. Create and release FPGAs through the development phases of uArchitecture-RTL Design-Physical Implementation-Timing Closure–Simulation Validation–Lab Based Silicon Validation. Collaborate with network communication system architects to define and design, implement, test, release, and support networking functions targeted to FPGA technology. Collaborate with Digital Communications/Networking system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGAs. Collaborate with system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGA prototypes to validate and trade off architecture and design alternatives. Collaborate with systems architects, HW engineering design teams, and FW/SW design teams to bring up and test systems combining FPGA, firmware, RF, and networking functions. Drive trade‑off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimize target technology resources for cost, size, power, performance, and features. Basic Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Experience with modern ASIC/FPGA design and verification tools. Experience in writing test scripts (Python preferred) to validate FPGA images in hardware. 7+ years of experience in FPGA design and implementation using System Verilog. Experience with Xilinx/AMD (or Altera) FPGAs. Experience with uArchitecture, RTL coding, FPGA optimization for timing and power, simulation, and validation. Preferred Qualifications Experience developing Python tests for both hardware testing and Cocotb simulation environments. Experience with high‑speed networking, SerDes, 50G/100G Ethernet, or Interlaken. Familiarity with AXI4 and AXI Streaming interfaces. Proven track record of successfully fielding and supporting FPGA and ASIC products.
