Role Posting Log in to save

The FPGA Engineer, EW joins the Electronic Warfare team to develop high-reliability radios and embedded processing for software defined radio platforms. In this role, you will own the end-to-end design and verification of projects on the latest AMD/Xilinx SOC/FPGA platforms. Daily responsibilities include designing and testing VHDL DSP modules, integrating subsystems into larger FPGA cores, solving resource and timing contentions, and developing drivers for custom RF component boards like PLLs and mixed-signal front ends. You will utilize HDL languages including VHDL and Verilog, alongside C, Python, or System Verilog for verification within a Linux environment using Git and CI/CD workflows. This work supports the development of next-generation autonomous electronic warfare platforms designed to operate in complex and contested environments.
