As a Sr FPGA Firmware Developer within the Torpedo Systems Group, you will join a cross-functional team of design, system, and electrical engineers to develop embedded systems. You will be responsible for architecting, designing, and documenting FPGA firmware hierarchies, components, and data flows while managing timing, pinout, and placement constraints. Your daily work involves developing, simulating, and testing firmware components, performing root cause analysis on failures, and maintaining configuration management documentation. The role requires expertise in VHDL, state machines, synchronous/asynchronous logic, and cross-clock boundaries. You will utilize Xilinx or Altera tools to integrate firmware onto target hardware. Technical requirements include experience with digital signal processing filters and standard network protocols like IPv4, UDP, and TCP/IP. This role specifically addresses the development of torpedo SONAR arrays and electronic assemblies for naval applications.
