FPGA Design Engineer, Radar

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. As an FPGA Design Engineer at Reliable Robotics you will be a part of the FPGA team which owns the firmware at the heart of the Reliable Robotics phased array radar. This role will focus on new advanced operational modes. FPGA designers at Reliable Robotics have a unique opportunity to work within a vertically integrated technology stack that extends up to the aircraft level, with a direct impact on the aircraft's capabilities and requirements. The position will be located at our facility in Seattle, WA. This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls.
