TL;DR · Senior FPGA Engineer, EW

Senior FPGA Engineer, EW joins the Electronic Warfare team to develop high-reliability radios and embedded processing for software defined radio platforms. You will own the end-to-end design and verification of projects on the latest AMD/Xilinx SOC/FPGA platforms, establishing robust design processes for next-generation autonomous electronic warfare platforms. Daily responsibilities include designing and testing VHDL DSP modules, integrating subsystems into larger FPGA cores, and developing drivers for custom RF component boards like PLLs and mixed-signal front ends. You will utilize VHDL, Verilog, and Linux development environments while managing Git and CI/CD workflows. The role requires expertise in high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIE, JESD, and Aurora to solve resource and timing contentions within complex, contested electronic warfare environments.

What you'll do

  • Own FPGA development for various software defined radio platforms to enable electronic warfare functions.
  • Design and test VHDL DSP modules and supporting infrastructure.
  • Integrate subsystems into larger FPGA cores while resolving resource and timing contentions.
  • Develop drivers for custom RF component boards including PLLs and mixed-signal front ends.
  • Lead the hardware bring-up of state-of-the-art boards for software defined radios.
  • Manage project deliverables against timelines and provide technical documentation.
  • Mentor and lead junior engineers through large-scale design tasks.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional experience.
  • Strong experience with DSP implementation for embedded devices and/or software defined radios.
  • Experience with Xilinx/AMD SOC/FPGAs and their architecture.
  • Experience with bring-up of high-speed digital interfaces like PCIE, JESD, Aurora, and N-Gbps Optical.
  • Proficiency in HDL design using VHDL and/or Verilog.
  • Proficiency in a Linux development environment, Git, and CI/CD workflows.
  • Experience mentoring or leading 1-3 engineers through large design tasks.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
