## Description

Astranis builds advanced satellites for high orbits, expanding humanity's reach into the solar system. Today Astranis satellites provide dedicated, secure networks to highly-sophisticated customers across the globe – large enterprises, sovereign governments, and the US military.

With five satellites on orbit and many more set to launch soon, the company is servicing a backlog of more than $1 billion of commercial contracts. Astranis is the preferred satellite communications partner for buyers with stringent requirements for uptime, data security, network visibility, and customization.

As an FPGA Intern at Astranis, you will have an amazing opportunity to work on hard problems. Internships at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are hourly roles designed for students who are currently enrolled at a four-year university.

## Role:

- RTL Development for FPGA targeted applications

- Work with multiple FPGAs and toolchains

- Interface FPGAs with a variety of peripherals including high speed data converters, memories, MCUs

- Write software to interface and test RTL in hardware

- Collaborate closely with electrical and software engineers

## Requirements:

- US Citizenship or Green Card (This is a legal requirement; no exceptions)

- Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent

- A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development

- Experience in designing, implementing, and testing high throughput systems implemented on FPGAs

- Proficiency with Verilog/SystemVerilog for synthesis

## Bonus:

- Experience with UVM and advanced SystemVerilog verification

- Experience with Xilinx FPGAs

- Experience with Vivado IDE, TCL

- Familiarity with system level estimates and implications of power, thermal, and real estate

- Experience with high speed data converters (ADCs, DACs, JESD204B)

- Experience with circuit level debugging

- Experience with digital communication theory and implementation, such as LDPC implementations

- Experience with space-based systems

- Experience with modern communication systems (RF, IF/IQ, time/freq domains, modulation)

- Experience in at least 1 domain beyond logic design. This could be DSP/radio design, software, hi-rel design (e.g. fault analysis & recover), etc.

The base pay for this position is $29.00 per hour.
