Form of work
SalaryWe're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.
As an FPGA DSP Design Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the Embedded Systems team. The Embedded Systems team owns the firmware and software platform at the heart of the Reliable Robotics autonomy stack. We are a creative and diligent team that provides dependable computing, networking, signal acquisition, and motor control solutions to bring our aircraft to life. Your contributions will directly enable the development of our Air to Air Radar, unlocking higher-level capabilities, and setting the stage for product certification & delivery to market.
Responsibilities
In your role as an FPGA DSP Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the FPGA design including product architecture, implementation, code synthesis, hardware integration, and testing for our Air to Air Radar solution. You will coordinate with the avionics and RADAR teams to establish high-level FPGA requirements and hardware/software interfaces. You will be responsible for translating MATLAB algorithms to fixed point VHDL implementations, conducting system architecture performance tradeoffs, and verifying real-time performance. You will work in a collaborative development environment including mutual peer review to maintain high product quality.
