About the role

  • For now, this does not include front-end, artificial intelligence, or machine learning development.
  • As a part of the team, you will be responsible for the development and verification of FPGA firmware used to fly some of the largest spacecraft that have ever been flown.
  • You will be able to write mission-critical code that controls propulsion systems, attitude control systems, RF systems, and power systems to ensure safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.

Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture and implementation of critical programmable logic systems across the spacecraft that support vehicle networking, RF systems, and real-time control of all spacecraft subsystems
  • Implement these architectures in RTL using VHDL and SystemVerilog
  • Verify and validate FPGA designs using a mix of simulation, bench-testing, and Hardware In The Loop testbeds
  • Support integration, test, and troubleshooting efforts for FPGA designs across all levels of the spacecraft development and manufacturing
  • Develop the tools and infrastructure to support rapid, high-reliability FPGA solutions across all subsystems
  • Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, math, or a STEM discipline or 3+ years of professional experience in software development
  • Development experience with VHDL or SystemVerilog
  • If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a groundbreaking Series C space startup, we'd love for you to apply.
  • The software team at K2 strives to blur the lines between the various types of software development and encourages team members to get into parts of the stack they may not otherwise have experience with.
  • 3+ years working with complex FPGA designs spanning digital, mixed signal, or RF applications

Nice to have

  • Experience integrating logic onto Xilinx SoC platforms
  • Experience with digital signal processing (DSP) fundamentals and implementing complex DSP logic and software defined radios on FPGAs
  • Experience implementing high-speed SERDES interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, and JESD204C.
  • Experience with standard bus and streaming protocols such as AXI and AXI-Stream
  • Experience with evaluating and integrating vendor/third party IP
  • Experience with common scripting languages such as Python, TCL, and Bash
  • Experience with Linux systems programming and driver development
  • Experience with continuous integration and continuous delivery systems

Compensation

  • Compensation and Benefits:

Benefits

  • Base salary range for this role is $120,000 - $225,000 + equity in the company
  • Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
