Key Job Responsibilities:

• Create FPGA solutions to support LEO's satellite communication system.
• This is a unique opportunity to define a new system with few legacy constraints.
• The FPGA design engineer will work with systems teams to define/develop/implement/test/release FPGA based solutions to enable LEO.
• This will focus on creating digital designs for networking functions using the latest generations of FPGA technologies and modern FPGA design processes and tools.
• Have ownership of one or more FPGA bitstreams.
• Create and release FPGAs through the development phases of uArchitecture-RTL Design-Physical Implementation-Timing Closure–Simulation Validation– Lab Based Silicon Validation
• Collaborate with network communication system architects to define and design/implement/test/release/support networking functions targeted to FPGA technology
• Collaborate with Digital Communications/Networking system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGAs.
• Collaborate with system architects and design engineers to implement digital logic functions in FPGA prototypes to validate/tradeoff architecture & design alternatives
• Collaborate with systems architects, HW engineering design teams & FW/SW design teams to bring up and test systems combining FPGA, firmware, RF, and Networking functions.
• Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of target technology resources for cost/size/power/performance/features
