TL;DR · ASIC FPGA Engineer Entry Level

As an ASIC FPGA Engineer Entry Level within the Idaho Scientific group, you will join a cross-functional team focused on designing and deploying secure system solutions. Your daily responsibilities involve the definition, design, verification, and documentation of ASIC and FPGA developments. You will determine architecture, system simulation, and detailed design approaches while defining module interfaces for device design. The role requires evaluating process flows including high-level design, synthesis, place and route, timing, and power utilization. You will also create test plans, verify results, analyze performance, and potentially review vendor capabilities and foundry technologies. To succeed, you must possess skills in hardware engineering, Microsoft Office applications, and the ability to identify AI opportunities for innovation. This work involves developing novel CPU designs, crypto cores, purpose-built system-on-a-chip architectures, and hardened operating systems for military security.

What you'll do

  • Perform definition, design, verification, and documentation for ASIC and FPGA developments.
  • Determine architecture, system simulation, and detailed design approaches for hardware components.
  • Define module interfaces and all aspects of device design and simulation.
  • Evaluate process flows including high-level design, synthesis, place and route, timing, and power utilization.
  • Create test and simulation plans to establish functional criteria.
  • Verify test results and analyze performance data.
  • Review vendor capabilities, foundry technologies, device libraries, and simulation tools.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, or Mathematics field.
  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • A Department of Defense Secret security clearance is preferred at time of hire.
  • Ability to perform all responsibilities associated with ASIC and FPGA development including design, verification, and documentation.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.
  • Ability to recognize and clearly report information relevant to sound ASIC/FPGA design topics.
  • Identifies opportunities to apply AI for continuous improvement and innovation (preferred).
