Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We want you as a talented FPGA engineer to help us in our mission by developing the electronic systems we need for our capsule to fly.

 

You will be successful in this role if you are able to help us:

  • Write VHDL code to validate all needed functions in the FPGAs

  • Provide inputs to team in charge designing digital circuit boards with FPGAs and Microcontrollers for space environment

  • Design and validation of digital interfaces circuitry (CAN, RS422 UART, I2C, SPI, Spacewire, etc.)

  • Write first test software for the system to validate interfaces and hardware functions

  • Validating the design and ensuring failure tolerance and radiation tolerance of the functions

 

Key Responsibilities

 

In your capacity as a Digital Electronics Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

  • Digital electronics architecture design

  • FPGA design and verification

  • Close working together with Systems Engineers to define capabilities and requirements of the digital functionality

  • Writing first test software for the system to validate interfaces and hardware functions

  • Full test cycle from first power up of prototypes to serial test concept of flight hardware

  • Creation and adaptation of test scripts in Python for test automation

 

What we would love to see from you

 

In the role of Digital Electronics Engineer ideally, you will have the following:

  • Finished bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Embedded Systems or similar (can be substituted with several years of relevant work experience)

  • Relevant work experience in FPGA / SoC design and / or verification

  • Experience using Microchip Libero or Xilinx Vivado

  • Solid VHDL / Verilog knowledge

  • Embedded software knowledge (MCUs, soft-cores)

  • Knowledge of VUnit/UVVM is a plus

  • Hands-on mentality working in the laboratory (Soldering, prototype board debugging, etc.)

  • Knowledge of radiation effects and radiation related failure mechanisms in electronic circuits is a plus (Single Event Upsets, Single Event Transients, etc.)

  • Knowledge of environmental qualification and relevant standards ECSS / NASA-HBK / NASA -CBCS / MIL-STD for programming, Interfaces, etc. is a plus.
