What is a VHDL?

A VHDL job typically involves designing, implementing, and testing digital circuits using the VHDL hardware description language. Professionals in this role work on FPGA and ASIC development, translating system requirements into efficient digital designs. They often collaborate with engineers to verify functionality and optimize performance. Common industries for VHDL jobs include telecommunications, aerospace, and semiconductor manufacturing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the VHDL position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a VHDL Engineer role, you need a strong background in digital design, hardware description languages (especially VHDL), and a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with FPGA/ASIC development tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Altera Quartus, and simulation software is typically required, and certifications in FPGA design are advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are key soft skills for collaborating on complex projects. These skills ensure accurate design, efficient problem-solving, and successful integration within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What are the typical daily tasks and work environment for a VHDL engineer?

As a VHDL Engineer, your daily tasks often include writing and testing VHDL code for digital circuit designs, simulating and debugging hardware behavior, and collaborating with other hardware and software engineers to ensure project requirements are met. You might spend significant time using development tools, participating in design reviews, and documenting design changes or test results. The work environment is usually team-oriented, involving close interaction with cross-functional engineering groups and occasional meetings with project managers or clients. This collaborative structure helps ensure that designs are robust, integrate smoothly with other systems, and meet project deadlines.

Job description

Join TrustPoint and Build the World's First Commercial GPS System in Space

GPS is a ubiquitous global utility in modern society; knowing one's location is critical for government, commercial, and personal applications. Still, today's solutions for determining location are inaccurate, slow, unencrypted, and susceptible to jamming and spoofing. These shortcomings make GPS insufficient for tomorrow's safety-critical and high-precision applications, a problem TrustPoint intends to solve.

TrustPoint is developing a fully commercial next-generation GPS service to provide significant performance, security and reliability improvements for GPS users. This includes better accuracy, quicker Time to First Fix, and anti-spoof and anti-jam capabilities. The improvements will support US Government position and timing service resiliency as well as enable next-generation commercial applications like drone delivery, self-driving cars, urban air mobility, and augmented reality. The $260B annual GNSS Hardware, Software and Data Services market is ripe for disruption and TrustPoint intends to lead that revolution with our commercial infrastructure and services.

The Position

We are seeking a VHDL Digital Communications Engineer to join our team and contribute to the design, development, and testing of both hardware and FPGA-based digital signal processing systems. You will work on everything from high-speed analog/digital circuits to advanced VHDL implementations for space and ground systems, helping to build our constellation of satellites and next-gen receiver technologies. This role offers significant upward mobility.

We'll Expect You To...

  • Design and develop reliable FPGA-based digital signal processing solutions for our GNSS architecture
  • Implement CDMA and DSSS receivers using VHDL on FPGA platforms
  • Develop and integrate modem algorithms supporting BPSK through 8PSK modulation
  • Apply advanced FEC techniques (e.g., LDPC), timing recovery (Costas loops), and digital pre-distortion (DPD) for high-Doppler LEO environments
  • Interface with high-speed ADCs/DACs, manage clock domains, and integrate with analog RF front ends
  • Evaluate and improve system performance under channel impairments like multipath, Doppler, and fading
  • Support product development, infrastructure commissioning, anomaly investigation, and operations automation
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams including RF, systems, and verification engineers
  • Ensure quality standards through rigorous testing and validation procedures

You'll Need to Have...

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (M.S. preferred)
  • 5+ years of experience in digital communications and VHDL development for embedded or FPGA-based systems
  • 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering for GNSS, space, or wireless communications applications
  • Proficiency with SoC and FPGA toolchains, mixed-signal design, and software-defined radios
  • Strong understanding of RF systems, signal impairments, and satellite communications
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and documentation skills
  • U.S. Citizen (required)
  • Ability to travel up to 10%

We'd Like to See...

  • Experience implementing hardware-in-the-loop, simulation, and field testing
  • Experience with GNU Radio and Software Defined Radios (SDRs)
  • Experience with automated test frameworks for BER and EVM measurements
  • Adaptive filtering and interference mitigation experience
  • Prior experience working in a startup environment
  • Active U.S. security clearance
Cultural Fit
  • Thrive in a startup environment
  • Positive, team-first communicator
  • Willing to roll up sleeves and work cross-functionally
  • Strategic thinker with tactical execution skills
Compensation and Benefits

The selected candidate will be competitively compensated with salary, equity (stock options), and a full benefits package. The salary range for this position is $139,000 to $172,000.
