TL;DR · FPGA Engineer

As a Senior FPGA Engineer on the Battlespace Awareness team, you will serve as the technical lead for airborne radar products, establishing foundational design processes and best practices. You will translate complex signal processing algorithms into high-performance hardware implementations while leading architecture, verification, and development efforts from concept through production. Your daily work involves designing digital signal processing chains for data acquisition and filtering, performing timing analysis, and ensuring resource optimization across Altera SOC/FPGA platforms. The role requires expert proficiency in RTL design using SystemVerilog or VHDL, experience with Altera toolchains like Vivado and Quartus, and a deep understanding of FPGA design constraints. You will solve critical technical challenges in the radar domain, specifically developing systems for advanced surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting within the modern and future battlespace to support defense capabilities.

What you'll do

  • Lead FPGA architecture, design, and verification for airborne radar systems from concept through production.
  • Translate signal processing algorithms into high-performance FPGA implementations on Altera SOC/FPGA platforms.
  • Establish and drive robust FPGA design processes, coding standards, and verification methodologies.
  • Design and implement digital signal processing chains including data acquisition, filtering, and real-time processing.
  • Perform timing analysis, resource optimization, and debugging of complex FPGA designs.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation including architecture specifications and verification plans.
  • Mentor and guide other engineers as the team scales its FPGA capabilities.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • 12+ years of professional experience in FPGA design and development.
  • Expertise in RTL design using SystemVerilog and/or VHDL.
  • Experience with Altera FPGA devices and development tools like Vivado and Quartus.
  • Proven experience implementing digital signal processing on FPGAs.
  • Proficiency in FPGA verification methodologies, simulation tools, timing closure, and resource optimization.
  • Ability to provide technical leadership by driving projects from requirements to hardware implementation.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
