Type: Full time, In Person
Location: Bangalore
Compensation (CTC): INR 25-30L (Including ESOPs)
Joining Date: January 2025
About the Role
We're catching lasers from space to build the optical highway to the cosmos.
Join us as an Electronics Engineer to design FPGA-based signal processing systems, laser driver circuits, and control electronics for multi-Gbps optical links. You'll work across high-speed digital systems, precision control loops, and ruggedized electronics for both ground stations and satellite payloads.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement FPGA-based signal processing for high-speed optical communication (1-10 Gbps data rates)
- Develop VHDL/Verilog code for data encoding, modulation schemes (OOK, PPM, DPPM), and protocol implementation
- Develop and validate control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
- Design PCBs with emphasis on signal integrity, impedance matching, and EMI/EMC for high-speed interfaces
- Integrate electronics with optical and mechanical subsystems
- Support field experiments, system bring-up, and on-site troubleshooting
Requirements
- B.Tech/M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or ECE
- Expert-level proficiency in FPGA development (Xilinx/Intel/Lattice platforms)
- Strong VHDL/Verilog programming for digital design and signal processing
- Experience with high-speed digital design and SerDes/LVDS interfaces
- Power electronics design: DC-DC converters, LDOs, current sources, laser drivers
- High-speed PCB design with signal integrity and thermal management understanding
- Proficiency with test equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers
- Knowledge of communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, USB, CAN
- Programming in Python/MATLAB for automation, simulation, and analysis
- Hands-on soldering, debugging, and board bring-up skills
- Ability to own an electronics subsystem end-to-end: design, build, test, deploy
Nice-to-Have
- MATLAB/Simulink for control algorithm development and automatic code generation
- Familiarity with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, ThreadX)
- Experience with embedded Linux (Debian) and ROS2
- Knowledge of modulation schemes and forward error correction codes
- DSP algorithm implementation on FPGAs
What We Offer
- Opportunity to build electronics for next-generation space optical communication from scratch
- World-class lab facilities and test equipment
- Founding Engineer equity
