Job description

L3Harris Telemetry & RF Products in Bristol, Pennsylvania currently has an opening for a Lead Digital Hardware Engineer. In this role, you will develop digital circuits for data acquisition and telemetry products. Responsibilities will include generation of specifications, component selection, high-speed digital circuit design, FPGA coding, simulation, and analyses, support of PWB layout, and integration & verification testing., * Generate design concepts and architectures to satisfy performance requirements

  • Design sub-systems and modules, with emphasis on digital circuits and FPGA code, coordinating integration with Analog, RF, Software, and Mechanical Engineering disciplines
  • Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA specifications.
  • Architect solutions targeting FPGAs against requirements and implement those solutions on FPGA platforms.
  • Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities
  • Review product specifications, and generate system and module-level block diagrams, flow diagrams, and design concepts
  • Refine and enforce consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
  • Lead teams of engineers generating the FPGA design solutions.
  • Ensure the FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
  • Lead the full life cycle development and integration of VHDL into different families of FPGAs.
  • Experience coding in VHDL and modeling algorithms, simulating, and integrating multiple FPGA-based modules
  • Lead the bench-level system integration with hardware, software, and other FPGA designs
