European satellite and IoT provider for SATCOM and signals intelligence
FOSSA Systems designs and manufactures low-power satellite systems and IoT hardware for defense and industrial customers across Europe. The tech stack—Xilinx FPGAs (Zynq, UltraScale+), GNU Radio, Verilog/VHDL, embedded Linux—reveals deep RF and signal-processing expertise. Active projects span FPGA IP integration, RF circuit design, ground-station testing, and SIGINT compliance sizing, paired with frontend modernization and a new wave of IoT node development. Hiring is engineering-heavy (8 of 12 roles) with accelerating velocity, concentrated in Spain and Portugal.
FOSSA Systems is a satellite and IoT hardware manufacturer based in Madrid, founded in 2020. The company specializes in low-power SATCOM communications, end-to-end satellite design and manufacturing, and signals intelligence capabilities—positioning itself as Europe's only vertically integrated satellite provider in this segment. They serve industrial and national security customers across Europe. The product roadmap includes RF systems, IoT modules, and ground-station infrastructure, supported by a technical stack spanning FPGA design (Xilinx), signal processing (GNU Radio), and embedded systems (Linux, C/C++). Current operational focus includes compliance certification, SIGINT requirements sizing, and frontend user experience improvements.
FOSSA uses Xilinx Zynq and UltraScale+ FPGAs, GNU Radio for signal processing, Verilog and VHDL for hardware design, embedded Linux, and custom RF circuit design for transmit/receive systems.
FOSSA is developing next-generation RF systems, integrating IP cores into FPGA designs, building new IoT nodes and modules, designing ground-station testing setups, and modernizing frontend interfaces for flight operations.
