Description

  • Own and maintain Xilinx Vivado + Yocto projects end-to-end, including updating projects to run on current Xilinx tool versions.
  • Modernize and harden development and production environments for FPGA and embedded systems.
  • Establish reliable build, package, and deployment processes for FPGA and boot images to local and remote devices.
  • Modify and improve FPGA-based RF/radar signal processing chains to meet system performance goals.
  • Collaborate with RF and signal-processing stakeholders to translate performance requirements into FPGA changes and tradeoffs.
  • Manage fixed-point design tradeoffs and validate implementations against system-level metrics.
  • Improve FPGA verification and regression infrastructure, including defining acceptance tests for releases.
  • Add on-target observability and diagnostics (ILA/VIO, counters, assertions, health monitors) for debugging and reliability.
  • Read and write embedded C and Rust to integrate and maintain FPGA software contracts for long-term maintainability.

Requirements

  • U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to explain technical concepts across diverse teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or related) plus 8+ years of relevant FPGA experience, or equivalent advanced degree with fewer years.
  • Strong, demonstrated experience owning production Xilinx FPGA projects (Vivado, constraints, IP integration).
  • Embedded Linux exposure, with PetaLinux experience strongly preferred.
  • Practical experience with coherent timing systems (10 MHz / 1PPS) and debugging timing-sensitive field issues.
  • Proficiency reading and writing C and Rust for embedded targets to support FPGA integration.
  • Experience with FPGA verification/regression infrastructure and on-target debug tools (ILA/VIO, assertions) preferred.
  • Preferred: direct experience with Xilinx RFSoC devices (architecture, data converters, clocking, tool flow).
  • Preferred: experience operating and updating Yocto/AMD EDF-based systems in the field, including remote update/deployment workflows.

Benefits

  • Flexible remote/hybrid work opportunities within a global workforce.
  • Unlimited paid time off for most roles.
  • Competitive salary with equity packages.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Opportunity to work on complex, mission-critical space and national security projects and access to cutting-edge commercial space operations and defense innovation.
