Job description

Seeking a senior-level FPGA Engineer to support the design, development, verification, and integration of production-quality FPGA solutions for advanced defense systems. This role covers the full FPGA lifecycle from requirements and architecture through VHDL coding, simulation, place-and-route, integration, debug, and production release support., * Develop and verify FPGA designs using VHDL.

  • Support FPGA architectures for system-level applications.
  • Translate system-level requirements into FPGA requirements.
  • Perform simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, integration, and debug.
  • Work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to define interfaces and design requirements.
  • Support FPGA designs involving RF/EO DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, processor interfaces, and gigabit serial interfaces.
  • Create technical documentation, including requirements, verification plans, and user guides.
  • Support internal and external technical reviews as needed.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of FPGA engineering experience.
  • VHDL coding and digital design experience.
  • Experience with Xilinx, Altera, or Microsemi FPGA devices and tool flows.
  • Hands-on FPGA integration and debug experience.
