Lead Firmware Development Engineer

Tomorrow.io, Golden, Colorado, United States, 80401


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

Lead Firmware Development 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

Lead Firmware Development Engineer

at Tomorrow.io, you will play a critical role in both leading and contributing to cutting-edge hardware 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:

Architect, design, develop, and test firmware for our next generation sensor product lines – in support of multiple Space & Sensors division programs, including the ARENA software-defined radar and associated GSE.

Be responsible for firmware development through all phases of the development cycle: requirements and ICD definition, design and simulation, implementation, testing, integration, documentation, and quality through final firmware release and delivery.

Work across multiple technical programs, consolidating efforts into a reduced number of technical architectures.

Contribute to the company's engineering culture by implementing best engineering practices and helping to improve on existing processes and procedures.

Design, document, implement, simulate, and test new FPGA firmware designs including planning and estimation of the required tasks.

Perform design reviews, code reviews, evaluate implementations, and provide feedback.

Develop, document, and implement firmware quality assurance measures following a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline while engaging with the Software QA engineers, including utilization of the Git development cycle.

Collaboratively define, document, and coordinate interfaces between firmware and software.

Actively engage with systems engineers, scientists, and program managers to translate operational capabilities to system requirements and executable tasks.

What you bring:

B.S. in Electrical Engineering. 15+ years minimum relevant experience.

Extensive experience working with complex systems involving multi-disciplinary technical teams with coupled Digital HW, RF HW, FW, SW, and Mechanical designs and development for space-based, airborne, and/or unmanned platform applications.

Experience with large FPGAs (Xilinx Ultrascale, Xilinx Ultrascale+, et cetera), including their associated development tools (i.e. Vivado), and high-speed Multi-Gbps transceivers (JESD204, PCIE, 10GigE, et cetera) and their respective RTL design, implementation, and test.

A strong systems perspective. "Perspective" here is understanding the relationship to other subsystems, requirements, ICDs, etc, in addition to non-technical factors such as cost and schedule.

A demonstrated track record of successfully and constructively leading and managing (both technically and functionally) multidisciplinary teams composed of a variety of consultants/subcontractors mixed with internal staff.

Ability to work in an agile environment with changing priorities focused on executing against company goals.

Demonstrated experience with FPGA bring-up, debugging, and validation, as well as mixing FPGA firmware development with software development that utilizes Agile methodology. Familiarity with Atlassian tools is a plus.

Proficiency in Systemverilog/Verilog including architecture definitions, simulation, and implementation.

Experience with Python, Linux, embedded systems, and automation scripting.

Experience with RADAR/Communications DSP modeling, design, and implementation experience (Matlab/HDL coder, Python CIC/FIR filters, Beamforming, WIFI, LTE, FFT/IFFT IP cores, etc.).

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.
