## About the Role

* Ability to complete a pre-employment background check and drug screening, which will include but is not limited to testing for marijuana use.
 * 10 or more years of hands-on FPGA development experience.
 * Experience successfully integrating FPGA designs into system-wide hardware/software environments.
 * Basic knowledge of embedded C/C++, SoC integration, and bus protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, I2S).
 * Ability to deliver high-quality VHDL modules and verification environments.
 * Willingness to work evenings and weekends as needed to meet critical project milestones.
 * Bachelor of Science (or higher) in Electrical Engineering.

Desired Skills, Experience, and Education:

 * Experience in ASIC design, DSP, or communication systems.
 * Prior exposure to high-speed interface design for RF systems.
 * Knowledge of Verilog.
 * Experience with simulation and verification tools such as ModelSim, ISE Simulator, or equivalent.
 * Prior experience with verification frameworks (UVM, OSVVM, OVM, etc.)
 * Expertise in synchronous and asynchronous digital design, pipelines, finite-state machines, and FPGA architecture.
 * Experience working with memory-mapped and stream interfaces (AXI-4, Avalon, AXI-Stream).
 * Experience with the development of high-speed interfaces using Gigabit Transceivers (ex., PCIe, Ethernet, DisplayPort).
 * Proficiency with hardware debugging tools, including logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and timing analysis.
 * Understanding of FPGA constraints, timing closure, and synthesis directives.

## Description

* Design and implement FPGA modules and subsystems using VHDL.
 * Perform third-party IP core integration and verification.
 * Develop configurable, self-checking test benches implemented in VHDL/OSVVM.
 * Integrate FPGA design with embedded software, flight software, and peripheral hardware components.
 * Optimize FPGA designs for performance, power consumption, and resource utilization.
 * Utilize FPGA toolchains such as Xilinx Vivado for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure.
 * Document design specifications, generate reports, and contribute to peer review sessions.
 * Assist in lab testing, system integration, and problem resolution throughout design cycles.
