As a Senior FPGA Engineer at the Battlespace Awareness team in Fort Collins, CO, you will lead FPGA development for airborne radar systems, translating algorithmic requirements into efficient FPGA implementations on Xilinx SOC/FPGA platforms. Your day-to-day responsibilities include establishing robust design processes and coding standards, collaborating with cross-site teams to ensure seamless integration, and performing timing analysis and resource optimization. You will also mentor other engineers as the team scales its capabilities. This role requires expertise in RTL development using SystemVerilog or VHDL, experience with Xilinx toolchains like Vivado, and a strong understanding of digital signal processing on FPGAs. Ideal candidates have over 12 years of professional FPGA design experience and a background in radar systems or software-defined radio development.

What you'll do

  • Lead FPGA architecture, design, and verification for airborne radar systems.
  • Translate signal processing algorithms into efficient FPGA implementations on Xilinx platforms.
  • Establish and drive robust FPGA design processes and coding standards.
  • Design digital signal processing chains including data acquisition and real-time processing.
  • Perform timing analysis and resource optimization of complex FPGA designs.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of professional experience in FPGA design and development.
  • Strong expertise in RTL design using SystemVerilog and/or VHDL.
  • Proven experience with Xilinx FPGA devices and development tools (Vivado).
  • Demonstrated experience in digital signal processing implementation on FPGAs.
  • Self-directed technical leadership with ability to independently drive projects.
  • Experience with FPGA verification methodologies and simulation tools.
  • Strong understanding of timing closure, resource optimization, and design constraints.
