TL;DR · Specialist FPGA Design Engineer

The Specialist FPGA Design Engineer joins a team focused on designing, developing, and testing communication systems, advanced electronic warfare systems, and multi-function systems. This role involves the full design lifecycle, including requirement definition, coding, simulation, synthesis, place and route, verification testing, and system support. The engineer will perform HDL coding, lab verification, and timing closure for FPGA designs involving digital signal processing algorithms. Required technical skills include proficiency in VHDL or Verilog, experience with ModelSim, Synplicity, Xilinx Vivado/ISE, or Altera Quartus toolsets, and laboratory debug techniques using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and BERTS. Additional competencies include implementing high-speed serial interfaces like PCIe and Ethernet, utilizing Git revision control, and programming in C, C++, C#, or Matlab/Simulink to solve complex signal processing challenges within the defense technology domain.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and test communication systems, electronic warfare systems, and multi-function systems.
  • Perform HDL coding using VHDL or Verilog to implement complex Digital Signal Processing algorithms.
  • Execute FPGA design workflows including simulation, synthesis, placement, and routing.
  • Achieve timing closure for FPGA designs.
  • Implement industry standard interfaces such as Ethernet, SPI, UART, SDRAM, and PCIe.
  • Conduct laboratory debugging using signal generators, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and BERTS.
  • Manage code versions using Git revision control.
  • Develop high-speed serial interfaces exceeding 3 Gbps.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree with 4 years of experience, a Graduate degree with 2 years of experience, or 8 years of experience without a degree.
  • 4+ years of FPGA design experience with Digital Signal Processing designs.
  • Experience in simulation, synthesis, and placement tools such as ModelSim, Synplicity, Xilinx Vivado/ISE, and Altera Quartus.
  • Experience in laboratory debug techniques using signal generators, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, BERTS, and other measurement devices.
  • Experience with timing closure in FPGAs.
  • Experience in Verilog or VHDL (preferred).
  • Implementation of complex DSP algorithms in FPGA or ASIC devices (preferred).
  • Security clearance.
