TL;DR · Entry Level FPGA Design/Verification Engineer

The Entry Level - FPGA Design/Verification Engineer joins a team of hardware and systems engineers to design, verify, and integrate FPGAs for avionics hardware. This role supports the full FPGA design lifecycle for Xilinx, Microsemi, and other device families, following the DO-254 design process. Daily responsibilities include designing, simulating, and verifying FPGAs, managing requirements, and preparing documentation for product development and certification. The engineer will also test and integrate FPGAs into circuit card assemblies. Key technical skills include experience with Zynq and PolarFire devices, high-speed data interfaces like PCIe, AXI bus, SERDES, and DMA, and avionics protocols such as MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429. Proficiency with VHDL and UVM test benches, as well as VxWorks C software, is also required.

What you'll do

  • Design, simulate, and verify FPGAs for avionics hardware using Xilinx and Microsemi device families.
  • Manage technical requirements using the applicable requirements management tools.
  • Prepare technical documentation required for product development and DO-254 certification.
  • Test and integrate FPGA designs into physical circuit card assemblies.
  • Contribute to the development of technical improvements for existing products and components.
  • Execute standard technical tasks and work routines under established instructions.
  • Explain technical information clearly to teammates and serve as a customer interface when required.
  • Lead a junior team on specific tasks as needed.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university or college.
  • High school diploma or GED with at least 6 years of experience in the relevant Job Family Group(s) or Function(s).
  • 0–1 years of professional engineering experience, including internships and co-ops.
  • Ability to prove status as a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee).
  • Experience with Zynq and PolarFire devices in system-on-chip or system-on-module applications (preferred).
  • Knowledge of high-speed data interfaces such as PCIe, AXI bus, SERDES, and DMA (preferred).
  • Knowledge of avionics interfaces and protocols such as MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 664, and Ethernet (preferred).
  • Export-controlled information.
