## About the role

As an FPGA engineer on the digital electronics team, you will analyze, design, and test custom FPGA firmware on the Terran R launch vehicle. You will oversee development for FPGAs across multiple products through the entire product lifecycle from concept to flight maturity to include initial design, board bring-up, design verification, qualification, initial flight production, integration, and vehicle operations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in FPGA development with a meaningful portion in DSP/SDR applications for mission-critical systems such as launch vehicles, spacecraft, aircraft, or robotics
- Strong grounding in digital communications theory: modulation schemes, matched filtering, synchronization (timing/carrier recovery), equalization, and forward error correction
- Proficiency in DSP fundamentals: multirate signal processing, filter design, FFT-based processing, and fixed-point quantization analysis
- Technical expertise in FPGA development across the full lifecycle — RTL design, verification, synthesis, timing analysis, and bring-up/validation — with algorithms implemented in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog
- Familiarity with one or more code generation or High Level Synthesis (HLS) languages including SpinalHDL, Chisel, Vitis, SystemC, or Simulink
