About the role

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable?
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services.
The target base pay for this position is $150,000 - $220,000 annually.

Define and implement subsystem-level RTL integration, ensuring correct connectivity, clocking, and reset architecture across all subsystem components
Collaborate with SoC architects to translate subsystem requirements into a coherent RTL implementation
Work closely with the verification team to define and develop comprehensive testplans covering subsystem functionality, processor interfaces, and IP integration
Author and review design specifications and integration guides for the processor subsystem
Support synthesis and timing closure for the processor subsystem in coordination with the physical design team
Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of design and integration methodologies
Support bring-up and debug activities for the processor subsystem on post-silicon hardware
We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 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.
This role sits at the intersection of RTL design and functional verification, requiring a strong grasp of processor subsystem architecture and hands-on experience bringing together complex IP in a cohesive, validated design.
That's why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
7+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design with a focus on processor subsystem integration
Strong proficiency in RTL design and integration using SystemVerilog or VHDL
Experience working with AMBA bus protocols (AHB, APB, AXI) in the context of subsystem integration
Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools for RTL compile and simulation (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Mentor Questa)
Familiarity with synthesis flows and static timing analysis in the context of processor subsystems

Experience with Arm Corstone or similar processor subsystem reference designs, including hands-on configuration and integration of Arm processor IP (Cortex-M series or similar)
Familiarity with Arm tools such as Socrates, Configuration Wizard, or similar IP configuration tools
Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Tcl, Perl) for design automation and EDA tool flows
Experience with UPF-based power-aware design flows
Background in satellite IoT, embedded communications, or similarly constrained application domains
Experience with post-silicon bring-up and debug of processor subsystems
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office.
The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

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.
We are seeking a Senior ASIC Design Engineer to join our processor subsystem team, focused on the configuration, integration, and verification planning of Arm processor IP and associated subsystem components for satellite IoT connectivity ASICs.
We are looking for dedicated self-starters who thrive in a fast-paced environment, can take ownership of complex technical challenges, and drive them through to completion with minimal oversight.
Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet.
In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.
