FPGA Test & Verification Specialist
Engineering - Toronto, Ontario

Kepler is changing the face of satellite communications by launching a constellation of telecommunication nanosatellites! With the recent success of our Series A funding, a handful of early customers, and our first five satellites in orbit, Kepler is currently doubling in size!

You will be responsible for building out our software and FPGA co-simulation environment. At Kepler, we use FPGAs and RTL in our satellite sub-systems, whether that is the software defined radio, on board computer, or payload control system. As we begin integrating more software with our FPGA designs, we require a strong co-simulation environment for verifying our RTL and ensuring reliability at a system level. A robust RTL software co-simulation environment is imperative to the successful delivery of our mission to bring the internet to space.

Responsibilities:

Build out RTL and software co-simulation environments

Develop System Verilog test benches

Interface RTL simulations with existing continuous integration (CI) framework

Track bugs and development status using metrics and reports as necessary

Requirements:

2+ years of experience in software testing and test infrastructure

1+ years of experience in FPGA/ASIC design or verification

Experience with test bench development in System Verilog, Verilog, and/or VHDL

Experience with traditional RTL simulators such as ModelSim, VCS, NCSim or similar

Ability to write clean and legible Python and C/C++ code

Experience using Bash and Linux scripting

Experience with continuous integration testing

Bonus Points:

Experience with software/RTL co-simulation environments such as CocoTB, VUnit, Verilator or similar

Experience with SystemC, UVM, Transaction Level Modeling or Bus Functional Model development

Experience writing TCL scripts

Experience with PyTest and/or Google Test

Experience with digital signal processing (DSP) and software defined radio (SDR)

Experience with GitLab and Jira workflows
