TL;DR · Staff FPGA Engineer, EW

Staff 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 while establishing robust design processes. The engineer will own FPGA development for various software defined radio platforms, design and test VHDL DSP modules, integrate subsystems into larger cores, and develop drivers for custom RF component boards like PLLs and mixed signal front ends. Key technical requirements include proficiency in VHDL or Verilog, Linux environments, Git, and CI/CD workflows. The role requires experience with high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe, JESD, and Aurora. This position addresses the critical challenge of developing advanced electronic warfare platforms capable of operating in complex and contested environments through sophisticated signal processing and hardware integration.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end FPGA development for various software-defined radio platforms supporting electronic warfare functions.
  • Design and test VHDL DSP modules and associated infrastructure for embedded devices.
  • 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 such as PCIe, JESD, and Aurora.
  • Mentor and lead a small team of engineers through complex design tasks.
  • Manage project deliverables, documentation, and communication to meet established timelines.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with DSP implementation for embedded devices and/or software defined radios.
  • Experience with Xilinx/AMD SoC/FPGAs and knowledge of their architecture.
  • Experience bringing up high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe, JESD, Aurora, and N-Gbps Optical.
  • Proficiency in HDL design using VHDL and/or Verilog.
  • Proficiency in a Linux development environment.
  • Proficiency using Git and CI/CD workflows including TCL and CI/HITL.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience mentoring or leading 1-3 engineers through large design tasks.
