Scientist, Electrical Engineering joins the electrical engineering team to serve as a lead designer and subject matter expert for electronic warfare systems. The role involves developing, simulating, and integrating highly specialized firmware designs, creating signal processing architectures for low latency classification and countermeasures, and managing a team of engineers through coding and circuit card design support. Key responsibilities include decomposing system requirements into FPGA specifications, performing lab verification, and ensuring consistent firmware development processes. Required technical skills include proficiency in SystemVerilog, SystemC, UVM, OVM, and MATLAB, along with experience using tools like Vivado, Quartus, and ModelSim. The candidate must possess expertise in RF concepts, VPX architecture, SOSA standards, and hardware debugging using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. Programming languages such as C, C++, Python, and TCL are also required for this role.
Develop and simulate high-specialized firmware designs for electronic warfare systems.
Architect digital solutions and signal processing architectures for low-latency classification and countermeasures.
Decompose system-level requirements into specific FPGA specifications and technical requirements.
Lead a team of engineers in coding, simulation, code analysis, and circuit card design support.
Perform formal test and lab verification of functional systems on circuit card assemblies.
Manage the performance, training, and professional development of the firmware engineering group.
Serve as a technical representative for site-specific design reviews and proposal evaluations.
Ensure consistent firmware development processes are followed across all FPGA designs.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s Degree and at least 12 years of relevant experience, or a Graduate Degree and at least 10 years of related experience.
Ability to obtain a Top-Secret security clearance.
Active TS/SCI Clearance (preferred).
MSEE or PhD in Computer Engineering or a related field (preferred).
System level knowledge of Electronic Warfare technology with a focus on FPGA Firmware architecture development and support (preferred).
Experience with RF concepts, high complexity FPGA design, and hardware-level debugging using tools like Signal Generators and Logic Analyzers (preferred).
