Job Description

FPGA / VLSI Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then youve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

Were intentional, were unapologetically curious and were 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are seeking an FPGA/VLSI engineer to contribute to digital hardware development targeting ASIC/SoC platforms used in advanced communication systems. This role focuses on RTL design, FPGA prototyping, and system integration, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality designs.
Responsibilities:

• Design and implement RTL using SystemVerilog with consideration for timing, power, and area
• Perform FPGA prototyping, validation, and hardware bring-up for digital designs
• Develop and execute simulation and debugging strategies at block and subsystem levels
• Contribute to SoC-level integration, including interfacing with processors, memory, and peripherals
• Analyze and resolve timing issues, including setup/hold violations and basic clock domain crossing concerns
• Collaborate with verification, ASIC, and software teams to ensure functional correctness and performance
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to improving design quality and best practices

Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• Strong experience writing synthesizable SystemVerilog/Verilog
• Proven experience with FPGA development flows, including synthesis, implementation, and validation
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals and timing analysis
Preferred Skills:
• Experience with SoC FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx Zynq, Intel SoC FPGA)
• Familiarity with AXI/AHB or similar bus protocols
• Exposure to ASIC design flow, including synthesis and STA
• Experience with high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet)
• Knowledge of communication systems (e.g., 5G PHY/MAC concepts)
What Success Looks Like:
• Independently handles well-defined design blocks from RTL to FPGA validation
• Produces clean, efficient, and timing-aware RTL
• Effectively debugs issues across simulation and hardware
• Collaborates well within a team and contributes to overall project progress
• Continuously improves technical depth and delivery efficiency

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $120,000 - $220,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
