FPGA Engineer

Redmond, Washington, United States of America Contract Engineering

Reference: 12312_1793732385

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior FPGA Engineer to support the development of advanced satellite communications payload hardware.

This role focuses on developing FPGA logic for advanced phased-array payload systems. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in RTL design, high-speed interfaces, timing closure, and hands-on hardware bring-up and debugging.

This is a highly hands-on engineering position requiring experience taking FPGA designs from RTL development through hardware validation. The engineer will work closely with electrical, hardware, board design, and systems engineering teams in a laboratory environment.

What You'll Do

Design, develop, and implement FPGA RTL using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
Develop and integrate high-speed interfaces and protocols, including JESD204, Aurora, PCIe, and Ethernet.
Own timing closure, timing constraints, clocking architecture, and FPGA performance optimization.
Perform FPGA bring-up and debug on new hardware platforms using JTAG, ILA, ChipScope, SignalTap, and laboratory equipment.
Develop FPGA logic for high-speed data movement, control, and communication between custom silicon devices.
Prototype and validate new functionality ahead of next-generation ASIC development.
Collaborate with board design, hardware validation, and systems engineering teams.
Troubleshoot complex FPGA and hardware integration issues and drive designs through successful validation.

What We're Looking For

8+ years of FPGA/RTL design and development experience.
Strong proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
Hands-on experience with high-speed FPGA transceivers and serial communication protocols.
Proven experience achieving timing closure on complex FPGA designs.
Strong board bring-up, hardware debugging, and lab validation experience.
Experience working with AMD/Xilinx or Intel/Altera FPGA platforms.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

Nice to Have

Experience with JESD204, DSP, FFT, beamforming, SDR, radar, or wireless communication systems.
Aerospace, satellite communications, or space-based hardware experience.
Experience with Zynq, Versal, UVM, Tcl, or Python.
Knowledge of radiation-tolerant FPGA design techniques, including Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) and configuration scrubbing.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge satellite communications technology and develop FPGA solutions for advanced space-based hardware systems.

You will work alongside experienced hardware and systems engineering teams, solve challenging engineering problems, and take ownership of FPGA designs from initial RTL development through real-world hardware validation and deployment.

You will own programmable logic in the phased-array signal chain on modern AMD/Xilinx devices - designing and integrating high-rate datapaths between the board's custom silicon, configuring and debugging multi-gigabit transceiver links, and bringing your logic up on brand-new boards in the lab alongside the electrical engineering team. This is a hands-on design-and-hardware seat: your deliverables run on real boards headed for orbit, not in a simulation environment. WHAT YOU'LL DO Design, integrate, and debug RTL for high-speed datapaths on AMD/Xilinx Versal and UltraScale+ devices.
