Job description

Join our team of innovators and get a chance to work alongside a team of talented, curious people that are passionate about designing and deploying solutions that are accelerating humanity's expansion into space.
Our team in Marlborough, MA has been actively accelerating humanity's expansion into space for multiple decades. During that time, our innovative team has been designing and manufacturing mission-critical, high reliability optical sensors for satellites providing guidance, navigation, situational awareness, and control capabilities.
Summary
Redwire Space Components, LLC has a current opportunity for a FPGA/Hardware Engineer located at our facility in Marlborough, MA. In this role you will be collaborating with members of the engineering and product management teams to develop space-qualified hardware PCBs and FPGA designs for our flight cameras, navigational sensor products, and other expanded product lines. The development includes circuit design, analysis, test, qualification, design documents, and supporting the transition of products from R&D to manufacturing.
Responsibilities
  • Learn applicable product technology, architecture, and design requirements for space-based sensor systems
  • Collaborate with the larger product team to effectively produce optimal hardware and FPGA designs for the space environment
  • Analyze and document design specifications, design verification plans and reports, parts stress analysis, worst-case analysis including radiation effects, and failure modes and effects analysis
  • Work with the software team to bring up and debug PCB, FPGA, and system-level designs. Maintain hardware throughout the development cycle
  • Design and support build of any special test equipment needed including interface adapters, cables, and associated commercial test support equipment
  • Conduct design verification stress testing to validate analysis and design margins. Evaluate any noncompliance's and develop solutions to bring the product into compliance
  • Develop novel system design approaches to mitigate radiation hazards to improved sensor availability or extend mission life
  • Support product release cycles, including manufacturing and test

Ideal Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with eight or more years of relevant design experience. MSEE is a plus
  • FPGA development experience, including architecting RTL designs, writing and debugging VHDL/Verilog, performing timing closure, leading FPGA bring up, and guiding system level integration on new hardware platforms
  • Proficiency with professional engineering tools including Altium or similar PCB design suites, Git, SPICE tools, and signal-integrity analysis
  • Experience with SoC based architectures and toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Zynq / Vivado), including synthesis, constraints, simulation, and hardware software interaction
  • Experience in analog circuit design, including amplifiers, filters, ADC/DAC interfaces, power sequencing, and mixed-signal considerations
  • Hands-on lab experience building prototypes, debugging complex hardware, and using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, and other instrumentation in both manual and automated test setups
  • Experience leading designs through the full hardware development lifecycle: requirements, architecture, design, implementation, verification, documentation, and manufacturing release
  • Ability to obtain a US Government DoD Security Clearance
  • Some limited travel may be required

Desired Skills
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers, contribute to design reviews, and provide technical leadership across cross-functional teams
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for leading discussions, presenting technical rationale, and producing clear design documentation
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, for documentation, analysis, and presentation of engineering work
  • Experience with engineering analysis such as worst-case analysis, reliability/derating, parts stress, and thermal analysis
  • Experience with isolated and non-isolated DC/DC power conversion, current/voltage monitoring, and electronic protection schemes
  • Familiarity designing for radiation environments (TID, SEE, TNID) and implementing FPGA-based mitigation techniques
  • Experience with EMC design principles, MIL-STD-461 (RE/CE/RS/CS), and ESD-robust circuit practices
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently, drive technical solutions, and provide guidance across projects

Grow with us as we innovate the next generation capabilities for a new era of space exploration! We offer a highly competitive benefits package along with a commitment to our core values of Integrity, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, and Excellence.
Salary range: $130K/yr. - $170K/yr.
Don't meet every single requirement above? No worries. We want people who can grow, collaborate and build a stronger team.
