## About Elveo Elveo is what happens when two pioneers in direct-to-device (D2D) communications join forces. Elveo brings together a combined 20 years of expertise to close the coverage gap for more than 50 mobile network operators (MNOs) and major distribution partners operating in 60+ countries worldwide.

That heritage and our technology powers what we call ‘elevated intelligence’ - a new approach that processes and adapts on orbit, delivering voice and data services straight to mobile users, IoT devices and machines across enterprise, government and humanitarian sectors worldwide. As a team, we’re on a mission to deliver powerful compute and connectivity directly to individuals and objects everywhere on Earth.

Join us, and become part of a globally inclusive company that is transforming satellite communications from a niche service to an essential global infrastructure, and democratizing connectivity for billions worldwide. Ready to take the next step?

Join us. ## Job Summary Elveo is developing cellular-based space payloads and seeks engineers with expertise and experience designing and developing custom software-defined radio (SDR) platforms. Aspects of the position require an understanding of FPGA hardware, firmware, digital signal processing, and algorithms for SDR-based satellite communication.

As a Senior FPGA/AIE Engineer,you will support the development of custom radio platforms for the primary (cellular service link) and secondary (TT&C / feeder link) communication links. The platform will initially be tested in a lab environment, then on the payload prototype in a lab environment that simulates orbit operations, and finally in space.

The Senior FPGA Engineer will also be responsible for designing and implementing methods for ensuring successful testing, verification, and validation. ## Core Responsibilities As a Senior FPGA/AIE Engineer, your core responsibilities are as follows: - Design and test high-speed FPGA systems for satellite communication systems. - Build with AMD Versal hard IP such as AIE, NoC, CIPS, MRMAC, and DDR controllers. - Model and implement DSP algorithms in RTL or AMD AIE/AIE-ML processors. - Implement device driver software in C, C++, or other languages for a Linux environment. - Develop and maintain documentation and ICDs for in-house IP blocks and other related components. ## Minimum Requirements - A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. - At least five years of recent related experience - At least three years of recent experience working with Xilinx/Altera FPGAs. - Proficient in at least one of the following: SystemVerilog programming - AMD Versal SoC programming - AIE-ML or AIE programming, specifically intrinsic based development. ## Preferred Qualifications - Experience with timing closure for high utilization FPGA builds. - Experience with FPGA SoCs and Bare Metal or Petalinux design flows. - Experience with UVM or hardware in the loop testing methodologies. - Experience with RFICs and multi chip synchronization. - Experience with high-speed interfaces such as JESD204C and high speed Ethernet. - Knowledge of the physical layer of cellular standards (e.g., GSM, LTE, 5G) is a plus. ## ITAR Requirements To comply with U.S.

Government export control regulations (ITAR), applicants must be one of the following: (i) a U.S. citizen or national, (ii) a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), (iii) a refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) an asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158. Individuals who do not meet these criteria must be eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
