Principal FPGA Design Engineer

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Rapidly develop, test, and implement FPGA designs using Xilinx SoC/FPGA
• Integrate third-party vendors IP, as necessary
• Perform digital circuit design, VHDL/Verilog coding, simulation (synthesis, timing), and verification
• Participate in entire design life cycle: from requirements and concept, through design and hand on testing/board bring up.
• Implement a variety of signal types such as high speed comms (ethernet, serial), signal processing (analog, digital)
• Ensure designs meet all relevant safety and performance standards, with traceability back to top-level system requirements, as necessary
• Investigate and resolve bugs found during hand on testing (at HDL level and system level)

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in FPGA/HDL hardware design. Experience with Xilinx SoC is highly preferred
• Familiarity with design software like Vivado (preferred), ModelSim, or Quartus
• Proficient in VHDL and/or Verilog
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, challenging environment
• Excellent problem-solving and organizational skills
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Experience in SoC hardware bring-up, preferably on ARM-based systems
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Working knowledge of designing for safety-critical functions
• FPGA interfaces and high speed busses
• Experience with systems on a Chip (SoC)
• Low-level firmware (C/C++) development for bring-up and test
