Aim high, go beyond!At Open Cosmos we are solving the world’s biggest challenges from space, providing businesses, governments and researchers access to more readily available information than ever before - ready for the challenge? Then read on…The CTO division is where Open Cosmos technology comes to life. Covering engineering, product development, and technical innovation, the team designs, builds, and operates the satellites, systems, and platforms that make our missions possible. It’s a highly collaborative environment where ideas become real hardware, software, and data solutions that deliver impact from space.Working in the Flight Software TeamWorking across the full mission lifecycle, the team designs, implements, and tests software for both onboard and ground systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability across our growing satellite fleet. Collaborating closely with systems, electronics, and mission operations, the team brings together innovation and precision to make every Open Cosmos mission fly.We are now looking for an FPGA Architect to join the team.What You'll Be DoingYou’ll shape how FPGA systems are designed across our spacecraft, working at the intersection of hardware and software to deliver high-performance, reliable, and scalable solutions. From early concept through to in-orbit performance, your work will directly influence how our missions operate and evolve.Defining and owning FPGA architecture across spacecraft platforms and missionsTranslating system and mission needs into clear, robust FPGA design strategiesDesigning high-speed, high-reliability digital systems for payload and platform applicationsDriving architectural decisions across performance, power, and reliability trade-offsEstablishing design standards, reusable IP, and scalable frameworks across programmesLeading the FPGA lifecycle from concept through simulation, verification, and hardware validationShaping verification approaches including simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and fault injectionSupporting bring-up and optimisation of high-speed interfaces and complex data pipelinesEmbedding fault tolerance and resilience into system designActing as the technical authority for FPGA, guiding decisions and resolving complex challengesWorking closely with electronics and software teams to ensure seamless integrationEngaging with suppliers and partners on FPGA technologies and toolingContributing to design reviews, test campaigns, and anomaly investigationsDriving continuous improvement in how we design, build, and validate FPGA systemsSupporting and mentoring engineers, helping raise the bar across the teamMaintaining clear architectural documentation, standards, and traceabilityWhat You’ll BringDeep knowledge of FPGA architecture and digital design using HDL (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog)Strong understanding of FPGA toolchains and ecosystems (Vivado, Quartus, Libero, Lattice)Knowledge of high-speed interfaces, data pipelines, and real-time processing systemsUnderstanding of FPGA and software integration, including embedded systems environmentsKnowledge of verification, simulation, timing analysis, and design optimisation techniquesUnderstanding of fault-tolerant and resilient design approaches (e.g. redundancy, error detection)Strong systems thinking, with the ability to balance performance, power, and reliabilityClear and structured approach to documentation, traceability, and design governanceAbility to make sound technical decisions and communicate them effectivelyCollaborative mindset, working across multidisciplinary teamsA drive to improve how things are done — technically and as a teamFor this role you can be based in any of our locations.To apply, you must have the legal right to work in your chosen location.Please submit your application and CV in English.Why Open Cosmos?Work at the cutting edge of space technology with customers around the globe.A mission-driven company making space accessible to help solve real-world challenges.A diverse, ambitious, and supportive team.
