Job Summary

As an FPGA engineer at Impulse Space you will be responsible for taking complex protocols and algorithms and accelerating them into high throughput FPGA blocks. 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

Bachelors 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).
