Job Description

FPGA Engineer

AnySignal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, AnySignal provides a flexible platform with world-class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade.

Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds that cover cloud computing to artificial intelligence, communications and sensing, embedded systems, and much more.

As an FPGA Engineer on the Space team, you will be responsible for designing and building the gateware at the heart of our next generation of space radios and RF solutions. Your work will span all aspects of the FPGA system required to create a full product, from high-speed interfaces with hardware components to tight integration with the software layer. Your focus, however, will be the implementation of the digital signal processing algorithms that enable communications and sensing across our products. To do so, you will work shoulder-to-shoulder with DSP and software engineers in designing a performant system.

Responsibilities

• Deliver highly-reliable gateware for our custom-designed hardware.
• Work closely with engineers across different teams to develop new products, from initial prototype through production and deployment.
• Take ownership of gateware products, including requirements definition, verification testing, and documentation.
• Implement signal processing algorithms in gateware. Work with DSP engineers to design FPGA-friendly algorithms.
• Integrate designs onto FPGA/SoC platforms and validate the devices that communicate and operate in space.
• Follow and contribute to our software development process.
• Contribute to hardware design discussions and assist in hardware debugging.

Required Skills

• Expertise in writing gateware in SystemVerilog.
• Experience developing for FPGA platforms using the Xilinx toolchain.
• Experience verifying correctness of FPGA modules using thorough unit and functional tests.

Desired Skills

• Solid understanding of DSP fundamentals and experience interfacing with high-rate conversion interfaces (Xilinx RFSoC, AD9361).
• Experience designing and modeling DSP blocks and algorithms (filters, modems, etc.).
• Experience developing software for embedded systems in C++ or C, or significant experience in another software language.
• Hardware debug experience, with familiarity with tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers (SPI, CAN, Ethernet, or similar).
• Comfortable reading circuit design schematics.
• Experience with high-speed serial links, including GbE, PCI-E, or similar.
• Familiarity with high-reliability, safety-critical, and fault-tolerant systems.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as bash and Python.

$110,000 - $180,000 a year
