About the role Muon Space seeks a talented FPGA Engineer with RF processing Expertise to join our High Performance Compute (HPC) team. In this role, you will implement HDL/RTL for digital signal processing of RF systems on FPGAs, and design and optimize these algorithms. You'll work at the intersection of RF theory, algorithm development, software defined radio (SDR), and high performance digital FPGA design to deliver high-performance wireless communication and RF sensing products. If you thrive on complex challenges in a dynamic startup environment and want to build the future of Earth observation, we want to hear from you. This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week. Responsibilities Implement and optimize RF processing algorithms on FPGAs for real-time execution; support algorithm prototyping and modelling and porting to ARM FPGA-SoCs Design, simulate, implement and integrate DSP and modulation algorithms for RF applications (Communications, ESM, Radar, etc.) Collaborate with RF hardware engineers on communications and instrument bring-up, calibration routines, and system integration, and team up with other software departments Author technical documentation, design specifications, and test reports Qualifications BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field 3+ years of professional experience in FPGA development of RF algorithms and translating prototype algorithms into FPGA implementations Experience with general RF digital signal processing techniques in some of the following areas:…
