FPGA Development Engineer

This role designs and develops FPGA logic for circuit boards installed in very small satellites. The work covers boards such as data transmission boards, Software Defined Radio boards, and orbit time determination boards. The engineer also performs verification testing of the implemented FPGA logic.

The role is involved in integrating multiple technical elements into complete satellite systems. Over time, the position is intended to expand beyond FPGA logic design and development toward overall satellite system design. Knowledge of space and satellite technologies can be learned after joining, and prior industry experience is not required.

The named development languages are Verilog HDL and C. Linux is the main operating system, although the posting states that the choice is flexible. Development tools include Vivado. Code management uses GitHub, with GitHub Actions for continuous integration. Task management uses GitHub Projects V2 and GitHub Issues, project management uses Redmine, and version control uses Git. Other named technologies include Zynq, Cortex-M, and RISC-V.

The work covers FPGA development from design through completion for very small satellites. The role may involve collaboration with countries and space agencies across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and South America, including joint research and development projects with organizations such as ESA.

The work location is the Ariake office in Koto-ku, Tokyo. The posting states that work is generally performed in the office, with partial remote work available. The initial and changed scope of the work is subject to the company's defined duties and locations, including telework locations.
