Tomorrow.io’s Space & Sensors team is responsible for the development of unique RF and acoustic-based sensing systems, such as radar, radiometer and sonar, from architecture through implementation. The team is also responsible for the  development of corresponding spacecraft and constellations in support of Tomorrow.io’s Operation Tomorrow Space, which will collect data to be integrated seamlessly into our existing forecasting and modeling systems, revolutionizing global weather intelligence.

 

We are looking for a FPGA Firmware Engineer to join a cutting edge, multidisciplinary team to help us execute complex development programs.  Applications include, but are not limited to, weather and climate remote sensing, navigation and situational awareness, as well as enabling the most capable weather intelligence platform in the world.  As a FPGA Firmware Engineer at Tomorrow.io, you will play a critical role in firmware development through all phases of the development cycle: requirements gathering and definition, design, development, prototyping, implementation, verification, testing, integration, calibration, and documentation.

 

What you’ll do:

  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary engineering team to define and implement features to the Software Defined Radar (SDR) to support Space and Terrestrial Sensor missions.
  • Design, document, implement, simulate, and test new firmware designs including planning and estimation of the required tasks.
  • Work closely with Systems and Radar engineers to verify feature implementations.
  • Perform design reviews, code reviews, evaluate implementations, and provide feedback.

 

What you bring:

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering and 3+ years of relevant experience or M.S. degree in electrical engineering or related discipline with 1+ years minimum relevant experience.
  • Ability to work in an agile environment with changing priorities. Utilize Agile methodology to track work progress and keep team members informed; familiarity with Atlassian tools is a plus
  • A proactive attitude and the ability to follow-through on commitments.
  • Experience with Linux OS and scripting (bash/tcl/python/perl, etc)
  • Experience with Versioning Control System (Git or SVN, Gitlab or Github or similar) to closely track changes to the FPGA baseline; utilization of continuous improvement and continuous development systems in a git based environment
  • Familiarity with Xilinx based Vivado tool suite is a plus
  • Familiarity with the Zynq SoC family; Ultrascale+, RFSoC, MPSoC, and Versal experience is a plus
  • Familiarity with RADAR/Communications DSP modeling, design, and implementation experience (Matlab/HDL coder, Python, CIC/FIR filters, Beamforming,WIFI, ZigBee, LTE, FFT/IFFT IP cores) is a plus
  • Familiarity with high speed interfaces (JESD, LVDS, SerDes, DDR3/4, Ethernet) a plus
  • Familiarity with firmware verification (directed stimulus & self checking test bench)

 

This position requires access to technology that is controlled under U.S. export control laws and regulations. Accordingly, this position is restricted to U.S. citizens, permanent residents and protected individuals unless and until any required licenses are obtained.

So if your passion is to design a cutting edge next-generation RADAR to provide weather intelligence to the world and have fun while doing so, then this team is for you.

If you have reached this point and you are super excited but not sure you check all the boxes - we still want to speak with you! Your passion is priceless. Other things can be learned.

Anticipated salary range is $130K-$160K, subject to local market and a candidate’s skills and experience.  Health, leave and other benefits included. Relocation assistance may be offered / available.

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Tomorrow.io’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
