About Starbird AI

Starbird develops advanced defense technologies focused on GPS-denied navigation and autonomous systems. We combine cutting-edge hardware, signal processing, and AI-driven algorithms to enable reliable operation in challenging environments where traditional navigation systems fail.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to join our hardware team and lead the design and implementation of high-performance FPGA systems for next-generation defense and navigation platforms. The role involves end-to-end ownership of FPGA development — from concept and architecture to verification and system integration.

Responsibilities

• Lead FPGA design and implementation using Xilinx FPGAs and the Vivado development platform
• Define FPGA architecture, timing, and resource trade-offs
• Implement and integrate high-speed interfaces including Ethernet, DDR, and JESD204B
• Collaborate with system, hardware, and software teams to integrate FPGA modules into complex navigation systems
• Support lab bring-up, testing, and debugging of FPGA-based designs
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical documentation

Requirements

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of hands-on FPGA design and verification experience
• Proven experience with Xilinx / Vivado toolchains
• Strong background in Ethernet, DDR, JESD204B, ADC interfaces, and high-speed digital design
• Excellent understanding of timing closure, synthesis, and FPGA optimization techniques
• Experience with lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.)
• Ability to work independently and lead technical efforts in a multidisciplinary environment
• Eligibility for security clearance – an advantage
