TL;DR · Senior FPGA Engineer, EW

Senior FPGA Engineer, EW joins the Electronic Warfare team to develop high-reliability radios, embedded processing, and power systems for software defined radio platforms. This role involves end-to-end design and verification of projects on AMD/Xilinx SOC/FPGA platforms, including the development of VHDL DSP modules, infrastructure, and drivers for custom RF component boards like PLLs and mixed signal front ends. The engineer will integrate subsystems into larger FPGA cores while managing resource and timing contentions. Key technical requirements include proficiency in VHDL or Verilog, Linux environments, Git, and CI/CD workflows. Candidates should possess experience with high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe, JESD, and Aurora. This role addresses the critical challenge of developing advanced electronic warfare platforms capable of operating in complex and contested environments by providing robust processing architectures for modern military systems.

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.
  • Perform hardware bring-up of high-speed digital interfaces like PCIe, JESD, and Aurora.
  • Manage project deliverables against timelines while documenting and communicating progress effectively.
  • Mentor and lead other engineers through complex 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 knowledge of 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 Linux development environments, 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.
