Senior Electrical Engineer, FPGA Development

YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is seeking a talented and experienced Senior FPGA Developer to lead the architecture, implementation, and verification of complex FPGA-based systems for our spacecraft. In this role, you will own your technical domain end-to-end — from requirements capture and architecture definition through simulation, integration, and on-orbit support — while managing ambiguity and driving cross-team delivery with minimal oversight. You will define FPGA-to-CPU/SoC interface architectures, lead verification planning across full digital subsystems, and bring a system-aware perspective that balances performance, cost, and risk across disciplines. As a senior contributor, you will mentor peers, raise the technical bar across the team, and introduce new approaches to complex problems. You will collaborate closely with avionics, embedded software, and test teams to build high-reliability, radiation-tolerant firmware solutions that are fielded on real spacecraft. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the architecture and implementation of complex FPGA systems with multiple clock domains, high-speed interfaces, and stringent reliability requirements 
• Own end-to-end FPGA development: requirements capture, functional block definition, HDL coding, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and hardware integration 
• Lead multi-board digital backplane and payload data bus design, driving compliance, margin validation, and derating analysis 
• Define and manage verification and validation plans for full digital subsystems, integrating FPGA verification activities with system-level test 
• Define FPGA-to-CPU/SoC interface architectures and collaborate with embedded software teams on protocol design and integration 
• Develop and integrate COTS and custom IP cores into complete, production-ready solutions 
• Implement radiation mitigation strategies including TMR, ECC, and scrubbing for space applications 
• Lead cross-team delivery of FPGA development milestones, mana
