Job Description
As a Science Instrument FPGA Engineer at Spire, you will be an integral part of a dynamic team that designs, develops, tests, and operates RF (radio-frequency) science instruments for a constellation of Earth-observation nanosatellites. Our particular focus is on the GPS (Global Positioning System) and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals for measuring atmospheric and ionospheric states, as well as the condition of the land and ocean surfaces of the Earth.
You will be involved in various phases of instrument development in the areas of the FPGA (field-programmable gate array) firmware, affiliated software, and testing and deployment of them, to improve the capabilities of the existing payloads as well as newly designed ones in the roadmap. The major topics the present position involves include, but are not limited to, data acquisition of RF signals, DSP (digital signal processing) of RF signals, hardware acceleration of computationally intensive tasks such as GPS/GNSS signal processing, and control of peripheral devices.
Your deliverables will fly on satellites and start gathering valuable Earth observation data in a matter of months, not years, after you join Spire. You will see the data generated by the instrument with your FPGA impacting many people through improved numerical weather forecasts, deepening understanding of the changing climate, and providing insights into various types of natural phenomena and human activities taking place on ground and in space.
