Descripción de la vacante

K2 Space Corporation is seeking an FPGA/firmware engineer to design and verify FPGA firmware for spacecraft propulsion, attitude, RF, and power systems. You will develop fault-tolerant architectures, implement RTL, and verify with software/hardware-in-the-loop simulators across multiple spacecraft.

In the first two years, you’ll scale FPGA systems, validate real-time performance, and collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to ensure mission success on high-power satellite platforms.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, math, or a STEM discipline or 3+ years of professional experience in software development.
• 3+ years working with complex FPGA designs spanning digital, mixed signal, or RF applications.
• Development experience with VHDL or SystemVerilog.

Responsabilidades

• Own the architecture and implementation of critical programmable logic systems across the spacecraft that support vehicle networking, RF systems, and real-time control of all spacecraft subsystems.
• Implement these architectures in RTL using VHDL and SystemVerilog.
• Verify and validate FPGA designs using a mix of simulation, bench-testing, and Hardware In The Loop testbeds.
• Support integration, test, and troubleshooting efforts for FPGA designs across all levels of the spacecraft development and manufacturing.
• Develop the tools and infrastructure to support rapid, high-reliability FPGA solutions across all subsystems.
