TL;DR · ASIC FPGA Engineer

The ASIC FPGA Engineer joins the engineering team to manage the definition, design, verification, and documentation of ASIC and FPGA developments. This role involves determining architecture, system simulation, and detailed design approaches while defining module interfaces and evaluating process flows including synthesis, place and route, timing, and power utilization. The engineer creates test plans to establish functional criteria, verifies results, and analyzes performance. Key technical requirements include proficiency in VHDL for digital design and simulation, hands-on experience with Microsemi or Xilinx FPGA development, and expertise with Vivado, Libero, Mentor, and Cadence EDA tools. Additionally, the role requires hardware integration using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers. The work focuses on solving complex technical challenges in the domain of high technology solutions for defense and scientific applications.

What you'll do

  • Define, design, verify, and document 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 and analyze performance results.
  • Review vendor capabilities, foundry technologies, device libraries, and simulation tools.
  • Perform hardware integration using lab tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Ability to obtain a DoD Security Clearance within 18 months.
  • Active DoD Secret security clearance (preferred).
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, or Mathematics field, plus at least 5 years of experience; or Master's degree plus 3 years of experience.
  • Strong proficiency in VHDL for digital design and simulation.
  • Hands-on experience with Microsemi and/or Xilinx FPGA development.
  • Proficiency with Vivado, Libero, Mentor, and/or Cadence EDA tools.
  • Hardware integration experience with lab tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.
  • ASIC design or tape-out experience (preferred).
  • PCB/circuit board design background (preferred).
  • FPGA-to-ASIC conversion experience (preferred).
