In this role, you will own your technical domain end-to-end — from requirements capture and architecture definition through simulation, integration, and on-orbit support — while managing ambiguity and driving cross-team delivery with minimal oversight. You will define FPGA-to-CPU/SoC interface architectures, lead verification planning across full digital subsystems, and bring a system-aware perspective that balances performance, cost, and risk across disciplines. As a senior contributor, you will mentor peers, raise the technical bar across the team, and introduce new approaches to complex problems. You will collaborate closely with avionics, embedded software, and test teams to build high-reliability, radiation-tolerant firmware solutions that are fielded on real spacecraft. RESPONSIBILITIES Lead the architecture and implementation of complex FPGA systems with multiple clock domains, high-speed interfaces, and stringent reliability requirements Own end-to-end FPGA development: requirements capture, functional block definition, HDL coding, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and hardware integration Lead multi-board digital backplane and payload data bus design, driving compliance, margin validation, and derating analysis Define and manage verification and validation plans for full digital subsystems, integrating FPGA verification activities with system-level test Define FPGA-to-CPU/SoC…
