In this role you will lead development of FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. 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 test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through production release. Design documentation and configuration management are required.

• Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production
• Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS) test system level requirements into FPGA requirements
• Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability
• Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage
• Help drive projects and execute to program schedules on time and budget
• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user's guides

Qualifications You Must Have

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, preferred, or relevant STEM degree

Typically requires a minimum of 2 years of experience to include at least two (2) of the following:

• FPGA design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA verification (SystemVerilog coding)
• Xilinx or Microsemi devices and flow tools
• Delivering FPGA solutions to system level applications
• Experience with integration and debug of FPGA devices

The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance prior to the start date is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

An advanced degree in a related field may be substituted for two additional years of experience

Qualifications We Prefer

FPGA design experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Radar processing techniques
• Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors
• Embedded systems design using ARM, Microblaze, or Nios processors
• Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs)
• Constrained random verification in UVM using System Verilog
• Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce
