Senior FPGA Design Engineer

ABOUT ANELLO PHOTONICS: ANELLO Photonics http://www.anellophotonics.com is a leading-edge technology company based in Santa Clara, CA. The company has developed integrated photonic system-on-chip and AI technology for next generation navigation. At the core is ANELLO's SIPHOG™ gyroscope, based on its patented photonic integrated circuit technology. The result is a product that is higher performance, much smaller size and weight and power, at a fraction of the cost of traditional gyros used in industrial, aerospace and military applications (SWAP-C). Our products enable reliable and accurate navigation and positioning for manned and autonomous applications, including in GPS-Denied environments. Anello is currently shipping product to a growing list of customers in the Construction, Farming, Trucking, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, and National Security segments.
