TL;DR · Staff FPGA Engineer, EW

JOB TITLE: Staff FPGA Engineer, EW The Staff FPGA Engineer, EW joins the Electronic Warfare team to develop high-reliability radios and embedded processing for software defined radio platforms. This role involves owning the end-to-end design and verification of projects on the latest AMD/Xilinx SOC/FPGA platforms. Key responsibilities include designing and testing VHDL DSP modules, integrating subsystems into larger FPGA cores, solving resource and timing contentions, and developing drivers for custom RF component boards like PLLs and mixed-signal front ends. The candidate must utilize HDL languages such as VHDL and Verilog within a Linux environment using Git and CI/CD workflows. The work focuses on creating FPGA-based processing architectures and electronics that enable autonomous electronic warfare platforms to operate effectively in complex and contested 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 engineers through large-scale design tasks.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of 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 and using Git and CI/CD workflows.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience mentoring or leading 1-3 engineers through larger design tasks.
