We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing at Raytheon. In this role as a Senior FPGA Engineer, you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including AMD, Altera, and Microchip. Designs commonly support the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. Designers collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architecture, modeling of algorithms, partitioning, code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed tests and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through production release. Design documentation and configuration management are required. What You Will Do * Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production * Work cooperatively with systems, hardware, software engineers, and program management to ensure product success * Design and code in VHDL for reliability, maintainability, reviewability and reusability * Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage * Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, user's guides and configuration management. * Design support from requirements definition through integration and test * Perform and participate in internal and external technical reviews * Independently drive projects and execute to program schedules and budget
