FPGA Design Engineer

Role overview and responsibilities :

Dhruva Space is looking for an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to support the development of a custom, indigenous communication waveform designed for long-range, low-power, and interference-resilient wireless links. The ideal candidate will implement and optimize advanced PHY-layer algorithms on FPGA platforms while collaborating closely with DSP, RF, and system engineering teams.

In this role, you will contribute to waveform design, simulation, FPGA implementation, and system-level integration, playing a key part in developing cutting-edge communication technology for space and advanced wireless systems.

Key Responsibilities include but are not limited to :

• Implement frequency-agile and spread-spectrum waveform components using VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog.
• Develop and optimize baseband modules including modulation, symbol processing, synchronization, hopping mechanisms, and framing.
• Conduct algorithm and waveform simulations using MATLAB / Simulink or Python before hardware deployment.
• Integrate and validate designs on Xilinx Zynq, RFSoC, USRP, and other SDR platforms.
• Work with DSP, RF, hardware, and system teams for bring-up, testing, and end-to-end integration.
• Prepare clear technical documentation covering waveform architecture, FPGA implementation, simulations, and validation results.
