Job description

Introduction -
Turion Space is seeking a highly skilled FPGA Engineer to join our team. As an FPGA Engineer at Turion, you will be responsible for implementing RTL designs for image sensor configuration, readout, RAM buffering, and signal processing algorithms. Additionally, the role will involve developing and optimizing FPGA applications across various payload RDT&E projects and spacecraft bus development. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in digital design, VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog programming, and experience with FPGA development tools and methodologies.

Note: This is an on-site position. We do not offer remote or hybrid work arrangements.

Key Responsibilities

Design, implement and verify RTL code for image sensor configuration and high-throughput readout
Develop and optimize RAM buffering techniques for efficient data handling
Collaborate with hardware and software teams to define FPGA requirements and specifications
Support RDT&E efforts of new space-based payloads
Implement and optimize signal processing and routing algorithms in RTL
Integration of RTL designs onto FPGA/SoC platforms
Perform synthesis, place and route, timing analysis and FPGA implementation
Verification and validation of RTL designs on prototype and flight hardware
Collaborate with multidisciplinary team to ensure system functionality
Lead verification and validation of FPGA based boards

Qualifications

Required:

2+ years of experience developing HDL for FPGAs in a professional environment
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics or a related field
Proficiency in RTL design using VHDL, Verilog and/or SystemVerilog
Proficiency working with FPGA design tools
Strong understanding of digital design principles and methodologies.
Must be able to obtain a Secret and/or a TS/SCI clearance.
Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed to meet critical deadlines

Preferred:

Experience implementing HDL for precise timing applications
Experience with high-speed serial interfaces (e.g. GbE, PCI-E, LVDS)
Experience with low-speed serial interfaces (e.g. RS422, CAN, SPI)
Experience with dynamic RAM controllers and layout.
Knowledge of RAM architectures and efficient buffering techniques
Experience with image sensors and camera systems
Experience implementing computer vision and digital signal processing algorithms in RTL
Experience with Xilinx and Microchip FPGA systems and toolchains
Experience with networking protocols and packet processing (Ethernet 802.3, IPV4/IPV4, UDP, TCP)
Proficiency in software development (C/C++/Python)
Strong documentation and collaboration skills
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Familiarity with hardware description languages (HDL) and high-level synthesis (HLS) tools.
