Senior FPGA Engineer, Space

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested warfighting domain.

We are looking for a Sr. FPGA/SoC Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role, you will be responsible for developing FPGA/SoC firmware and overseeing 3rd party development.

You will work with internal and external design teams to develop products for use in orbit. This will require architecture, RTL generation and debug.

- Rapidly develop, test, and implement FPGA designs using Xilinx SoC/FPGA.

- Work with third-party developers to ensure timely product success

- Perform digital circuit design, VHDL/Verilog coding, synthesis, place and route, timing closure, simulation, and verification.

- Participate in entire design life cycle: from requirements and concept, through design and hand on testing/board bring up.

- Implement a variety of signal types such as high speed comms (ethernet, serial), signal processing (analog, digital).

- Ensure designs meet all relevant safety and performance standards, with traceability back to top-level system requirements, as necessary.

- Investigate and resolve bugs found during hand on testing (at HDL level and system level).

- 5 years of experience preferred in FPGA/HDL hardware design. Experience with Xilinx SoC (Versal) is highly preferred.

- Familiarity with design software like Vivado (preferred), ModelSim, or Quartus.

- Experience in SoC hardware bring-up, preferably on ARM-based systems.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

- Working knowledge of designing for safety-critical functions.

- Low-level firmware (C/C++) development for bring-up and test.
