Spire Global is a space-to-cloud analytics company that owns and operates the largest multi-purpose constellation of satellites. Its proprietary data and algorithms provide the most advanced maritime, aviation, and weather tracking in the world. In addition to its constellation, Spireโs data infrastructure includes a global ground station network and 24/7 operations that provide real-time global coverage of every point on Earth.
The Advanced Signal Processing Group (ASPG) is part of Spireโs office of the CTO.ย This is a small, tightly knit, highly collaborative team spread across the world.ย Spire owns and operates over 120 nanosatellites constantly collecting RF activity across the spectrum and this team has the sole responsibility of monitoring, detecting, geolocating, and providing other actional near real-time insights.ย Detection of Illegal fishing, trafficking, and GNSS jammer detection and geolocation are all daily applications one can look forward to in this role.
The Role:
As a Senior FPGA Engineer, you will translate, augment, and implement prototyped algorithms into productionized ideas for use on-orbit.ย You will work in a small team that will iteratively expedite the design and validation of FPGA-based solutions meant to actualize real-time processing onboard our spectrum monitoring capabilities.ย You will utilize SDR concepts and architecture with embedded linux integration.
You will have the responsibility to ensure that we deliver high-quality, low-latency services and products and the freedom to pursue novel, high-impact applications. In collaboration with our algorithms and payload teams, you will implement algorithms for automating, monitoring, and delivering high impact RF insights over the globe and spectrum.
