FPGA SoC Embedded Engineer (RTOS, Xilinx/Intel)

E-Space•Saratoga, CA

8d•Onsite

About The Position

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We are seeking an embedded engineer to develop real-time software on advanced SoC platforms. This role involves building firmware, working with RTOS-based systems, and interacting closely with FPGA and hardware components. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms and is comfortable working across the hardware/software boundary.

Requirements

Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
Experience with at least one real-time operating system (mandatory)
Strong C/C++ programming skills
Hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms (mandatory)
Understanding of interrupts, scheduling, and embedded systems

Nice To Haves

Experience with Zephyr
Familiarity with Embedded Linux
Experience with JTAG or low-level debugging tools
Knowledge of hardware/software interfaces (e.g., memory-mapped I/O, DMA)
Knowledge of 5G PHY and MAC layer concepts (desirable)

Responsibilities

Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for SoC systems
Work with real-time operating systems and multi-threaded applications
Implement low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
Debug system-level issues involving hardware and software interaction
Interface with FPGA designs, including register access, control paths, and data movement
Collaborate closely with FPGA and hardware teams
