TL;DR · Staff FPGA Engineer, Simulink

As a Staff FPGA Engineer - Simulink (REMOTE), 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 and Simulink into designs for low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs. Your daily work involves establishing development workflows for architecture, design, simulation, and verification while developing microProcessor ICDs between FPGAs and data handling schemes. The role requires expertise in VHDL, Verilog, C, and C++, along with experience in RTOS and standard interfaces like Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB. You will solve complex technical challenges in the domain of wireless communications systems and aerospace environments, ensuring high reliability for embedded systems while navigating requirements such as DO-254 and various MIL-STD standards to ensure mission success.

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 and best practices across the HDL firmware lifecycle.
  • Develop microProcessor ICDs between FPGAs and various message or data handling schemes.
  • Design, implement, and verify FPGA-based systems using VHDL or Verilog.
  • Test and troubleshoot complex board designs for communications 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.
  • 10+ 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 EE test equipment.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience with wireless communications, networking, AI tools, and aerospace standards like DO-254 or MIL-STD (preferred).
