  • Work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to define interfaces and design requirements.

  • Support FPGA designs involving RF/EO DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, processor interfaces, and gigabit serial interfaces.

  • Create technical documentation, including requirements, verification plans, and user guides.

  • Support internal and external technical reviews as needed.

Required Skills

  • 8+ years of FPGA engineering experience.

  • VHDL coding and digital design experience.

  • Experience with Xilinx, Altera, or Microsemi FPGA devices and tool flows.

  • Hands-on FPGA integration and debug experience.

  • Experience delivering FPGA solutions into system-level applications.

  • Ability to support FPGA work from requirements definition through integration and test.

  • Secret clearance or higher required prior to start.

Preferred Skills

  • Radar or image processing experience.

  • Embedded systems experience using ARM, MicroBlaze, or Nios processors.

  • Experience with gigabit serial interfaces or multi-gigabit transceivers.
