About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Senior FPGA Engineer / Lead to join our team at VyomIC, where we are building the next-generation Global LEO-PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) satellite constellation from India. In this role, you will lead the design and implementation of high-performance FPGA-based signal-processing and precision-timing solutions for next-generation satellite systems. You will be responsible for translating advanced DSP and communication algorithms into efficient, resource-optimized, and flight-ready RTL implementations. You will drive FPGA development across multiple verticals at VyomIC, including satellite payloads, timing and clock systems, and ground and test infrastructure. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams across signal processing, RF, navigation, systems, and software engineering, you will contribute to the architecture, development, verification, and deployment of reliable FPGA solutions for space applications.

Key Responsibilities
• Technical Leadership: Lead major FPGA projects end to end, from architecture definition and technical trade-offs to verification, hardware bring-up, and final delivery.
• RTL Design & Implementation: Design and implement advanced signal-processing algorithms, including acquisition, tracking, data decoding, synchronization, and measurement processing using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• DSP & Fixed-Point Design: Translate floating-point DSP algorithms into optimized fixed-point architectures, performing quantization analysis and bit-accurate verification.
• FPGA Optimization: Optimize FPGA designs for timing closure, latency, power consumption, and resource utilization, including DSP slices, BRAM, and LUTs.
• Cross-Vertical Development: Drive FPGA implementation across satellite payloads, precision timing systems, and ground infrastructure while promoting reusable IP and common design architectures.
• Verification & Validation: Define verification strategies, develop testbenches, establish simulation environments, and validate FPGA implementations against Python/C++ reference models.
• System Integration: Lead hardware bring-up,



debugging, software integration, and performance validation in laboratory and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments.
• Project Planning & Execution: Define project milestones, estimate engineering effort, manage technical risks, and coordinate deliverables with program management.
• Technical Documentation: Prepare RTL architecture documents, design specifications, verification reports, and performance analysis. Lead technical design reviews, including PDR and CDR.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance, review designs, mentor junior engineers, and establish best practices for FPGA development. Required Skills & Experience
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 8+ years of hands-on FPGA development experience, including leading at least one major project from concept to deployment.
• Demonstrated experience in technically leading multi-engineer FPGA development projects.
• Solid understanding of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) fundamentals, including filters, FFT, synchronization, NCOs, and correlators.
• Expert proficiency in VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog.
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGA platforms and development toolchains.
• Strong understanding of fixed-point arithmetic, quantization, and bit-accurate verification.
• Experience with simulation and verification tools such as ModelSim or equivalent.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, TCL, or Bash.
• Proven ability to achieve timing closure on complex, high-utilization FPGA designs.
• Experience in FPGA architecture, RTL design, debugging, and hardware validation. Preferred Skills & Experience
• Prior experience in satellite communications, GNSS, or PNT systems.
• Knowledge of space-grade and radiation-tolerant FPGA design practices,



including SEU mitigation, Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR), scrubbing, and ECC.
• Understanding of high-speed digital design, Clock Domain Crossing (CDC), and timing closure techniques.
• Experience with laboratory validation, test automation, and hardware debugging tools such as ILA/ChipScope, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
• Experience with ARM-based MPSoC platforms, particularly Zynq UltraScale+, Cortex-A/R, and embedded Linux (PetaLinux/Yocto).
• Knowledge of device driver development and hardware-software integration.
• Experience in precision timing, clock distribution, or time-transfer systems.
• Familiarity with design assurance and qualification standards such as DO-254, ECSS, or equivalent.
• Experience developing reusable FPGA IP and common architectures across multiple product lines.
• Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams across signal processing, RF, navigation, systems, and embedded software. Why Join Us
• Build the Future of Global Navigation – Be part of a revolutionary mission that redefines how the world connects, navigates, and operates in the new age of satellite-based positioning and timing.
• Be Part of the Founding Journey – Shape the architecture and engineering foundations of a global satellite constellation from the ground up, working directly with the Founding Team at VyomIC.
• Collaborate with High-Profile Advisors – Learn from and engage with senior industry experts and advisors who bring decades of technical and domain expertise.
• High-Impact, High-Ownership Role – Lead critical FPGA initiatives that directly influence real-world satellite systems requiring precision, reliability, and performance.
• Work Alongside a World-Class Team – Collaborate with experts across astrodynamics, signal processing, embedded systems, RF engineering, navigation, and mission operations.
• Drive Technical Innovation – Establish reusable FPGA architectures, influence engineering practices, and shape the technical direction across multiple product verticals.
• Grow with the Mission – As the constellation scales, so do your opportunities for technical leadership, innovation, and long-term career growth.
