Fpga Engineer

The FPGA Engineer designs, implements, and verifies FPGA-based solutions that support advanced Navy torpedo testing systems. This role focuses on developing HDL code in AMD/Xilinx environments, creating robust verification plans and testbenches, and supporting hardware integration and laboratory testing. The engineer collaborates closely with cross-functional technical teams, produces clear engineering documentation, and contributes to the modernization of critical government systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, modify, integrate, and verify FPGA implementations that support Navy torpedo testing systems.
• Develop high-quality HDL code using Verilog, SystemVerilog, and VHDL within AMD/Xilinx FPGA development environments.
• Create comprehensive FPGA verification plans and develop testbenches to validate functionality and performance.
• Execute verification activities, analyze results, and refine designs based on test outcomes and system requirements.
• Support FPGA integration efforts as designs transition from development to hardware implementation.
• Troubleshoot FPGA and hardware-related issues during laboratory testing and integration activities.
• Utilize laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters (DMMs), and other debugging tools, to validate and debug FPGA designs.
• Generate and maintain detailed technical documentation, including design descriptions, implementation plans, verification reports, and other engineering artifacts.
• Collaborate closely with firmware engineers, systems engineers, and technical leads throughout the entire development lifecycle.
• Participate in design reviews, present technical findings, and incorporate feedback to improve design quality and reliability.
• Contribute innovative technical solutions while operating within established engineering processes and standards.
• Support system integration activities as the program progresses toward full hardware implementation and testing.
• Work onsite as needed to support integration phases and hands-on laboratory testing., Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): We may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support parts of our hiring process, including sourcing, screening, and evaluating candidates. AI helps assess applications and qualifications, but final decisions are made by our hiring team. By applying, you acknowledge and agree that your application may be reviewed using AI tools.
