At ALL.SPACE we are fortunate to produce stand-alone phased-array antennas. This means that we cover the entire electronics spectrum. We design and produce the electronics hardware (power, analogue, digital, and RF), as well as the firmware and software that runs on our hardware. FPGAs are crucial elements of our antennas, and our FPGA firmware designers undertake the whole of the development process: from negotiation of requirements and initial design architecture, through to formal validation and verification of the design. The work is extremely challenging but incredibly rewarding. You will work within a small team of firmware engineers who are experts in their field. Although the primary role is to develop firmware for deployment into an FPGA, you may also get the opportunity to write software for our products and test systems or use Matlab to generate and analyse test data or simulate DSP algorithms. One thing is for sure: you will be contributing to our unique and novel antennas within an enthusiastic and supportive team.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop FPGA firmware to industry standards, that implements signal processing functions, glue logic, and high-speed interfaces.
  • Develop testbenches for FPGA firmware and perform the verification.
  • Develop firmware for complex FPGAs, SoCs, and PLDs.
  • Test firmware on system hardware.
  • Support integration efforts as required.
  • Develop and agree development plans with the team leader and work towards the plan to deliver firmware on time.
  • Review firmware code developed by peers.
  • Contribute towards miscellaneous firmware team activities.
