TL;DR · Firmware Design Engineer

The Firmware Design Engineer joins the Radar & Precision Weapons Development organization to design, implement, and test FPGA-based digital systems and signal processing algorithms for advanced RF sensors. Working within a multidisciplinary team of systems, electrical hardware, and software engineers, this individual translates system requirements into digital hardware and FPGA implementations while troubleshooting issues at simulation, board, and system levels. Key responsibilities include creating engineering documentation, developing test scripts, and managing source control. The role requires proficiency in VHDL or Verilog, knowledge of synchronous logic, finite-state machines, and pipelining, alongside experience with Vivado Design Suite, Git, MATLAB, or Python. Candidates must navigate the complexities of high-speed digital architectures and hardware debug for RF sensor programs while maintaining a DoD Security Clearance to support critical signal processing technologies.

What you'll do

  • Design, implement, and integrate FPGA-based firmware for advanced RF sensor systems.
  • Translate system and signal-processing requirements into digital hardware and FPGA implementations.
  • Troubleshoot design issues at the simulation, board, and system levels.
  • Create technical documentation including design descriptions, user manuals, and interface control documents.
  • Develop test software, scripts, and procedures to verify FPGA functionality in laboratory settings.
  • Manage source control, configuration management, peer reviews, and defect tracking for firmware projects.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 0 to 5 years of experience developing and implementing firmware designs.
  • Familiarity with at least one hardware description language such as VHDL or Verilog.
  • Basic understanding of digital design concepts including synchronous logic, FSMs, pipelining, and timing.
  • Familiarity with FPGAs and FPGA design development.
  • Experience with software configuration management tools.
  • Ability to use engineering analysis or scripting tools like MATLAB or Python.
  • U.S. Citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance.
