TL;DR · Senior FPGA Engineer, RF/Comm Systems/Simulink

As a Senior FPGA Engineer, you will join a cross-functional engineering team to deliver robust embedded processing solutions for communications and networking. You will manage the full firmware implementation lifecycle, translating algorithms from Matlab or Simulink into designs for low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs. Your daily work involves establishing development workflows, designing microProcessor ICDs, and ensuring system integration. The role requires expertise in VHDL, Verilog, C, and C++, alongside experience with RTOS and standard interfaces like Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB. You will solve complex technical challenges within the domain of wireless communications systems and aerospace environments. Required skills include proficiency with EE test equipment and familiarity with flight software architectures to develop reliable hardware for sophisticated communication networks.

What you'll do

  • Deliver robust embedded processing solutions for communications and networking systems.
  • Execute the full FPGA firmware development lifecycle from algorithm definition to system sustainment.
  • Translate MATLAB and Simulink algorithms into functional FPGA implementations using code generators.
  • Establish and optimize product development workflows across the HDL firmware lifecycle.
  • Develop microProcessor ICDs between FPGAs and message/data handling schemes.
  • Design, implement, and verify FPGA-based systems using VHDL or Verilog.
  • Test and troubleshoot complex board designs for communication systems using standard EE equipment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
  • Experience working with cross-functional hardware and embedded systems teams from concept to production.
  • 6+ years of experience designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA-based systems using VHDL or Verilog.
  • Experience using code-generators to translate MATLAB/Simulink algorithms into FPGA implementations.
  • Proficiency in C and C++ and experience with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
  • Familiarity with MCU, CPU, FPGA devices, standard interfaces (Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB), and basic EE test equipment.
  • Familiarity with flight software architectures, aerospace high reliability designs, and relevant standards like DO-254 or MIL-STD (preferred).
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
