Job description

I’m working with a fast-growing space technology company looking for an Avionics FPGA Engineer to help develop next-generation autonomous space systems.

This is a hands‑on role covering the full development lifecycle, from RTL design and simulation through to hardware testing and flight readiness.

They’re looking for experience with:

• SystemVerilog and/or Verilog


• RTL design and verification


• Clock domain crossings, static timing analysis and timing closure


• SerDes and memory interfaces


• Hardware debugging using oscilloscopes and logic analysers


• Python and/or TCL scripting

Experience with high-speed interfaces, DDR memory, Microchip FPGAs, SoC design or space-rated electronics would be a big plus.

Please note, this position involves access to ITAR-regulated equipment and data, so relevant eligibility requirements apply.
