TL;DR · Systems Engineering Integration & Test Engineer, TIDES FPGA

As a Systems Engineering Integration & Test Engineer - TIDES FPGA (PIE), you will join the Payload Integration and Evolution team to develop and mature the Payload Verification Platform. This role involves building a hardware development environment using COTS and custom FPGA boards, development kits, and supporting infrastructure to emulate spacecraft payload behavior for early integration and risk reduction. You will perform RTL updates, simulation, interface integration, and lab bring-up while bridging test equipment with units under test. Key responsibilities include managing packet timestamping, command scheduling, and hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG tools. The role requires proficiency in SystemVerilog, VHDL, Linux command-line environments, and Git workflows. You will solve complex integration challenges by translating multidisciplinary requirements into functional capabilities for payload programs moving toward verification and flight readiness.

What you'll do

  • Integrate COTS and custom FPGA boards into a shared hardware development environment.
  • Perform early payload emulation, interface testing, and hardware bring-up activities.
  • Execute FPGA development tasks including RTL updates, simulation, and interface checkout.
  • Support real-time test functions such as packet timestamping and command scheduling.
  • Debug integration issues using lab equipment, software tools, and waveform captures.
  • Translate multidisciplinary engineering requirements into specific test platform capabilities.
  • Document test setups, bring-up procedures, and observed interface behaviors.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Must be able to obtain a TS/SCI security clearance within a reasonable amount of time.
  • Foundational understanding of digital logic, electronics, embedded systems, or hardware/software integration (preferred).
  • Experience with FPGA design, SystemVerilog, VHDL, or FPGA development kits (preferred).
  • Familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and protocol analyzers (preferred).
  • Basic understanding of communication interfaces like Ethernet, SPI, UART, or JESD204 (preferred).
  • Proficiency with software tools, scripts, Linux command-line environments, or Git-based workflows (preferred).
