Senior FPGA Engineer – Firmware

Digantara is building the world’s first maps for space, Space-Mission Assurance Platform™ (Space-MAP™). Space-MAP™ represents a revolutionary end-to-end infrastructure for sustainable space operations, offering a comprehensive space situational awareness solution that simplifies and strengthens satellite operations in the face of the rapidly expanding commercialization of space.
Space-MAP™ is powered by accurate data gathered by advanced ground-based and space-based cameras. Processing the raw images on the edge utilizing onboard PFGAs is vital to extracting useful information, reducing operational costs and augmenting efficiency.
Digantara is seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to develop RTL-level firmware for implementing algorithms written in high-level languages for deployment in embedded systems. You will use your knowledge and experience in programming FPGA to develop cutting-edge firmware for tracking space objects from both space and the ground.
Why Us?

• Competitive incentives, galvanising workspace, blazing team, frequent outings—pretty much everything that you have heard about a startup + you get to work on satellites.
• Hustle in a well-funded startup with a flat hierarchy that allows you to take charge of your responsibilities and create your own moonshot.

Responsibilities

• Develop RTL-level codes using VHDL/Verilog for pre-existing high-level image processing algorithms.
• Collaboration with the image processing team to implement high-level algorithms in FPGA.
• Synthesize and compile the HDL codes.
• Debugging and logic verification at the RTL level.
• Efficiently use and create IP (Intellectual Property) blocks to customize firmware development.
• Optimize codes and timing synchronization for embedded hardware requirements.
• Define and conduct testing and troubleshooting of codes using digital hardware kits.
• Ensure hardware compatibility, efficiency, and reliability of the firmware.
• Document the design and development iterations of firmware following standard industry practices.
• Get engaged in the recruiting and training of new engineers.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• 6-10 years of experience in firmware development for advanced image processing algorithms.
• Proficiency in embedded VHDL/Verilog and C/C++.

Preferred Qualities

• Understanding of digital electronics and RTL codes.
• Strong debugging skills.
• Hands-on experience in testing with FPGA boards such as Xilinx.
• Good knowledge and understanding of image processing algorithms.

General Requirements

• Ability to work in a mission-focused, operational environment.
• Ability to think critically and make independent decisions.
• Interpersonal skills to enable working in a diverse and dynamic team.
• Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
• Writing and delivering technical documents and briefings.
• Verbal and written communication skills as well as organizational skills.
• Travel occasionally as necessary.
