The Embedded FPGA Engineer joins the engineering team to support the development, optimization, and deployment of digital signal processing functions on a SOSA/VPX system. This role involves designing, implementing, and validating system components to build RF signal processing applications on embedded platforms using cutting-edge FPGAs. Key responsibilities include developing high-throughput hardware blocks for filtering, detection, synchronization, and modulation while optimizing for timing, area, and power. The candidate will utilize HDL, Vitis HLS, Verilog, VHDL, and SystemVerilog alongside Python, C++ Embedded, and MATLAB. Technical requirements include experience with Linux/UNIX environments, Agile processes, and lab equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. The work focuses on creating reusable hardware IP blocks and scalable DSP pipelines to solve complex real-time signal processing challenges.
