What the job involves

- We’re on the hunt for a top-tier FPGA Digital Design Engineer to develop the next generation of our satellites

- At Kepler,



you’ll have the opportunity to work with a dedicated team of engineers building the Kepler spacecraft. You will be responsible for the design and implementation of FPGA code either with a focus on DSP algorithms to modulate and demodulate signals on board our software defined radio (SDR), or embedded systems interfacing with processors and peripherals
- To be effective you will need to participate in all phases of FPGA design flow (Simulation, Synthesis, Place & Route, Timing Closure and Hardware Testing). A good understanding of the intricacies of FPGA development would make a candidate standout

- Develop custom IP for new features of the Kepler satellite digital payloads

- Iterate on current DSP and interface designs to improve reliability

- Work with IP core vendors to integrate recent functionality into the Kepler designs

- Work with lead engineers in developing the communications and network architecture of our future satellite constellation

- Participate in conceptual design studies of new spacecraft

Benefits

- Unlimited Vacation

- Comprehensive Health Coverage

- Stock Options
- Flexible & Hybrid Work Options

- Professional Development
