POSTED ON 2/9/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/7/2025

About the team :

Project Taara focuses on delivering high-throughput and long-range connectivity via free-space optical communication (FSOC) links that use light (eye-safe lasers) propagating between two terminals to wirelessly transmit high speed data.

About the role :

Project Taara is seeking to fill a FPGA designer position. The role is focused on design, simulation, implementation, testing, and verification of digital logic for high-data-rate communications systems and precision line-of-sight tracking systems running on system-on-Chip FPGA platforms. The position seeks highly-motivated individuals that enjoy working in a small dynamic team environment, with a passion for solving challenging problems that can lead to high-impact advances in technology.

How you will make 10x impact :

  • Collaborate across teams to jointly develop high-speed digital signal processing and control system algorithms supporting free-space optical communications applications.
  • Implement custom RTL modules that enable high data rate communications, as well as timing-sensitive feedback-based precision line-of-sight tracking systems.
  • Develop testbenches for RTL modules, perform simulation, and verify design requirements are met.
  • Integrate third party IP cores into an FPGA system, create custom RTL wrappers for third party cores, and interface with IP vendors.
  • Participate in board bring-up activities, system level integration tasks, troubleshooting, and field testing.

What you should have :

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering or similar discipline.
  • 3 years in FPGA / Digital Logic Design role, with experience in implementing and testing custom RTL using SystemVerilog or Verilog.
  • Experience with FPGA design flow including simulation, synthesis, and static timing analysis.
  • Experience with FPGA high speed interfaces.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • It would be great if you also had these :

  • MS (or higher) in Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with Xilinx UltraScale / UltraScale FPGAs / SoCs, or equivalent.
  • Experience coding in embedded C / C (or similar) and common scripting languages (e.g. Python).
  • Experience implementing RTL blocks for high-speed communications, image processing and real-time tracking systems.
  • Experience with Simulink or High Level Synthesis.
