Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D model of the world. The Hardware Engineering team at Array Labs is responsible for the analysis and design of our satellite and ground-station hardware platforms. These platforms tend to be a heterogeneous mix of various subsystems like compute, memory, peripherals with high-speed interfaces, RF, sensing, power management, navigation, and controls. The focus areas of the Hardware Engineering Team can be split into Aerospace/Avionics, Electrical/Electronics (EE) and Communications/Radar engineering. As an FPGA Design Engineer in the Hardware Engineering team, you will create solutions on our FPGA platform to support Array Lab's radar and communications payload as well as our ground infrastructure. You will work with Communication Systems and Radar Algorithms teams to define, implement, and test various algorithms, control systems, and modem systems on our FPGA platform. The role requires implementing proprietary algorithms and integrating third-party IPs on the FPGA platform. This is a unique opportunity to join our early team and make a significant impact by contributing to the creation of a brand-new platform free from any legacy limitations.
