Hardware Design Engineer in Arlington

n * Proficient in schematic design and BOM for higher-speed digital and mix-signal circuit card designs.

The Electronic Warfare Division of Leidos is seeking a Hardware Design Engineer to support Circuit Board and FPGA Firmware Design Engineering work with a multi-disciplined design team (electrical engineers, systems engineers, scientists, etc) to design, develop, simulate, and integrate challenging digital designs and RF sensor systems based on given project requirements. Candidate will have a strong background in high-speed digital design in support of a fast paced, multi-disciplinary design team. This role will also support integration, test, and verification in the final products. This position is expected to be part-time or full-time and could support telecommuting options depending on the candidate., n * Ability to be granted a security clearance \n * Experience with at least one FPGA integrated design and simulation environment tool and such as Xilinx Vivado/Vitis and Siemens ModelSim \n * Experience with at least one schematic entry and PCB Layout tool set such as Altium, KiCad, or Cadence Allegro/OrCad. \n * Experience with hardware integration, test and debug tools (high-speed logic analyzers, scopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.) \n * Proficiency in general computer skills such as Microsoft office Excel, PowerPoint and Word

\n

• BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related degree \n * Minimum of 4 years of relevant experience \n * Excellent oral and written communication skills, n * MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related \n * Experience writing test software in C/C++ or other to validate design \n * Knowledge in the areas of performance characteristics of analog data converters, ADCs/DACs \n * ARM or RISC-V embedded processor based SoC design experience \n * Familiarity with electrical and mechanical standards such as FMC and VPX \n * Experience in signal processing theory and communications systems and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in resolving real world problems \n * Experience with MATLAB signal processing environment \n * Existing Secret (or above) Clearance

n * Analyze, design, simulate, and implement algorithms in hardware descriptor , HDL (VHDL, Verilog), based on customer requirements and/or model(s). \n * Collaborate with a multi-disciplined design team (electrical engineers, systems engineers and scientists) to design and integrate challenging FPGA designs and RF sensor systems. \n * Collaborate with a multi-disciplined design team to design and integrate DSP applications for latest System on a Chip (SoC) implementations such as AMD/Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+, Intel Agilex, and AMD/Xilinx RFSoC. \n * Analyze, design, and implement HDL test benches in hardware description , HDL (VHDL, Verilog), for code validation and validation against models. \n * Perform design constraints and verification as well as evaluate synthesis and timing performance reports. \n * Analyze, design, simulate, and implement designs which interface to common signaling standards, typical IP such as SERDES, PLLS, etc. and/or protocols such PCIe, JESD204B/C, LVDS, etc. \n * Analyze schematic diagrams for either custom or commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) electronic hardware involving high-speed digital and/or analog circuitry in associated FPGA-centric systems. \n * Develop and maintain requirements documents, functional specification documents, interface control documents, etc. \n * Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and occasional field testing. \n * Conduct experimental tests on state-of-the-art FPGA and SoC evaluation boards, evaluate results, and then develop specifications for selecting next- components. \n * Work on problems of diverse scope, determining methods and procedures to be used on new assignments, and providing feedback and recommendations to other technical personnel. \n * Some travel and work at remote sites for limited time periods may be occasionally required.
