FPGA Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled FPGA Engineer to design, implement, and verify digital logic solutions for advanced aerospace and defense electronics. This role spans the full development lifecycle-from architecture definition and RTL coding to simulation, synthesis, and lab validation. The ideal candidate excels at the intersection of hardware and firmware, bringing innovation, technical rigor, and collaborative problem-solving to a fast-paced R&D environment.

Scope of Responsibility Core Objectives

• Deliver reliable, efficient, and scalable FPGA-based solutions that meet real-time system requirements.
• Collaborate across engineering teams to integrate FPGAs into embedded computing platforms., * Develop HDL code (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) for digital signal processing, memory control, data acquisition, and high-speed interfaces.
• Perform simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, and place-and-route using industry tools (e.g., Vivado, Quartus, ModelSim).
• Interface with system architects and software teams to define FPGA functionality, constraints, and register maps.
• Validate FPGA performance through bench testing, logic analysis, and hardware debugging.
• Support documentation, version control, configuration management, and product release readiness.
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and system-level integration activities.

Do you have experience in Software coding?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Proficiency in VHDL or Verilog for RTL design, simulation, and timing closure.

• Experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, JESD204, etc.).
• Familiarity with Xilinx or Intel/Altera FPGAs and toolchains.
• Knowledge of clock domain crossing, reset synchronization, and power-up sequencing best practices.
• Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and scripting tools (TCL, Python, MATLAB)., * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; Master's preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in FPGA design and development in aerospace, defense, or embedded systems environments.
• Experience with DO-254, MIL-STD, or other regulated development practices is a plus.

Personal Traits and Characteristics:

• Analytical and exacting: Thrives on precision and getting the timing just right.
• Collaborative and communicative: Works well across hardware/software/system domains.
• Proactive and dependable: Manages workload independently and anticipates design needs.
• Growth-minded and innovative: Always seeking better ways to build robust, reusable IP blocks.
• Mission-oriented: Understands the impact of reliable electronics in high-stakes systems.
