Kapta Space, a VC-funded early-stage startup in Seattle, WA, is breaking new ground in Geospatial Intelligence. Our technology centers around a proven, scalable electronically-steered radar for sophisticated spaceborne applications such as earth observation using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques, as well as enabling advanced defense missions such as target tracking. Kapta Space is seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to lead RTL design and FPGA development for radar operation and algorithm implementation. Kapta Space is seeking FPGA Engineers with experience in mission-critical firmware development that have the drive and experience to complete projects independently and on time. You Are the Right Fit for the Role at Kapta Space If: You are able to work as a member of a multi-disciplinary team in creating firmware requirements You are able to architect, design, and implement software for our Kapta radar sensor You can work collaboratively with radar algorithm, hardware, software and mechanical engineers to build reliable embedded firmware for the payload You are able to evaluate implementation/maintenance, complexity and resource requirements (logic cells, embedded memory, DSP Slices) for control and signal processing routines in RTL. Produce trade-studies to support decision making You can integrate RTL designs onto FPGA/SoC platforms with synthesis, place and route, and timing analysis You have demonstrated experience with leading verification and validation of FPGA design on prototype and fight hardware You are comfortable assisting in the recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly growing team
