Senior FPGA Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Design core space-communication systems – Architect and implement networking and DSP blocks on FPGAs to process high-rate data from phased-array antennas and support reliable connectivity where traditional systems struggle.
• Lead projects from concept to production – Work with cross-functional teams through prototyping, productization, deployment, and ongoing operations to ensure systems meet performance needs in demanding environments.
• Develop system architecture – Assess trade-offs, define requirements, and optimize architectures for resilient, high-speed communication links that support global customers with minimal downtime.
• Debug and improve deployed systems – Review field test data from global ground stations, identify hardware-software integration issues, and update designs to improve reliability and throughput.
• Basic Qualifications:
• 5+ years of experience delivering complex digital hardware designs
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or similar hardware-focused field
• Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog skills for efficient, synthesizable designs
• Python experience for automation, simulation, and system integration
• Hands-on experience with FPGA-based DSP and/or networking
• Experience with FPGA SoCs, including processors, peripherals, and custom logic
• Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers) for debugging high-speed FPGA designs
• Onsite in Torrance
• Preferred Qualifications:
• Proficiency with C++ or Rust - For embedded software that complements your FPGA work in performance-critical applications
• Hands-on with high-performance PCBA architecture and design, including FPGA integration: You've architected boards that push the limits of speed, power, and reliability in demanding environments
