About this job

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Sr. FPGA Verification Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the FPGA team which owns the firmware at the heart of the Reliable Robotics phased array radar. Phased array radar systems have historically been reserved for specialized applications, but we’re making this technology affordable to enable Detect and Avoid for widespread commercial applications. This role will focus on new advanced operational modes. The passion for revolutionary technology to make aviation safer motivates us to come in every day.

Responsibilities

In your role as a Sr. FPGA Verification Engineer, you will own the FPGA integration and test environment for multiple airborne products including their test benches & simulation, continuous integration, timing analysis, elemental analysis, and build. You will develop DO-254 compliant processes for peer review and testing, perform qualification of relevant design and verification tools, and develop strategies for efficient verification of the product. Your contributions will directly enable the efficient realization of safe and dependable airborne electronic hardware at Reliable Robotics.

Basic Success Criteria

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent experience

  • 8+ years of full-cycle electronics hardware development experience in a professional environment

  • Professional knowledge of designing FPGA digital logic using industry-standard design, simulation, and synthesis tools

  • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills

Preferred Criteria

  • Advanced degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent

  • Experience working with RADAR or RF transceivers

  • Experience with safety-critical FPGA verification (DO-254 level A/B or equivalent)

  • Comfortable with a fast-paced, agile/iterative development life cycle

  • Pragmatic, results-oriented work style

FPGA engineers at Reliable Robotics have a unique opportunity to work at the heart of a vertically integrated technology stack that goes all the way up to aircraft level, with a direct impact on the aircraft's capabilities and requirements. They execute a focused mission to establish the foundation of Reliable’s technology roadmap, which does not suffer from dithering business or customer objectives. Come lend us your experience, motivation, skills, and enthusiasm - we simply can’t wait to see what you will do here.

The position will be located at our facility in Seattle, WA. Must be willing to travel 10% of the time.

The estimated salary range for this position is $215,000 - $300,000. At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.

In addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers, and a casual work environment.
