Description
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
OUR VALUES
Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
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, managing dependencies and setting clear checkpoints
Mentor peers and junior engineers, elevating design quality and development practices across the team
Develop and maintain design documentation, ICDs, verification plans, and test reports
Participate in all aspects of the product development lifecycle, from concept through production, integration, and launch
QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
5+ years of professional experience in FPGA design and development
Deep expertise in VHDL and/or Verilog and FPGA synthesis flows
Experience with Microsemi/Microchip, Xilinx/AMD, or Intel/Altera FPGA families and associated toolsets
Experience with simulation and verification tools such as ModelSim, QuestaSim, or similar
Experience designing and implementing high-speed Ethernet interfaces in FPGA fabric, including MAC/PHY integration, UDP/TCP offload, and high-throughput data path design
Experience with Layer 2 Ethernet switch development, including
