Job Description Job Description Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. We are seeking an experienced ASIC Design Engineer to contribute to the design, development, and verification of our next-generation semiconductor products. The ideal candidate will have expertise in ARM SoC implementations, DSP algorithms, and wireless modem IP verification, with a strong background in ASIC design principles. What you will be doing: Design and implement ARM-based SoC solutions for applications including 5G, IoT, etc. Develop and optimize DSP algorithms for ASICs, focusing on efficiency and low power consumption Verify wireless modem IP blocks, perform gate-level synthesis, and conduct simulations Collaborate with system architects to define SoC architecture, DSP specifications, and wireless modem IP requirements Develop RTL code for SoC components, DSP modules, and wireless modem IP Perform functional verification, validation, and gate-level simulations Work with layout engineers for efficient physical implementation Conduct performance analysis and optimization of designs Participate in design reviews and mentor junior engineers Stay updated with advancements in ARM architecture, DSP algorithms, wireless modem technologies, and semiconductor design What you bring to this role: 5 years of experience in ASIC design with ARM-based SoC implementations, DSP algorithms, and wireless modem IP verification Proficiency in RTL design using Verilog or VHDL Strong understanding of ARM architecture, DSP theory, wireless modem technologies, and AMBA protocols Experience with EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics) Knowledge of synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and system-level design tools Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, communication, and teamwork skills Bonus points for the following: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field Experience with low-power design techniques Knowledge of high-speed interface protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, Ethernet) Familiarity with ARM-based firmware/software development and DSP algorithm development using MATLAB Experience with formal verification methodologies and DFT/DFx principles Understanding of fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic optimization Experience with scripting languages (Python, Perl) for automation This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $140,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
