FPGA Engineer

As an FPGA Engineer, you will be developing and verifying complex digital designs for use in spaceborne products across commercial and defense programs. This role requires a self-starter and team player who can take ownership of projects from design through deployment in a fast-paced environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, synthesize, and verify digital logic designs for FPGA-based products

• Interface with senior DSP engineers to convert signal processing designs from mathematical models into VHDL logic implementations

• Identify which product functions can be sourced as third-party intellectual property (IP) versus those requiring internal development

• Develop VHDL code for signal processing functions, network interfaces, embedded processor interfaces, clock management, and ancillary functions

• Maintain the code base using the company s version control system

• Collaborate with embedded software developers to define interfaces between programmable logic and embedded processor cores

• Develop functional simulations to verify VHDL implementations, including bit-exact signal processing simulations

• Perform bench-level verification by synthesizing designs, loading bitstreams into target devices, and supporting overall product testing

Requirements:

• Bachelor s degree in Engineering or Computer Science

• Strong expertise in digital logic design, simulation, and synthesis using VHDL

• Experience with AMD/Xilinx FPGA devices and Vivado tools

• Experience designing high sample-rate communication and/or signal processing systems in FPGA devices

• Proficiency with Microsoft Windows OS and Microsoft Excel

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities

Desired Qualifications:

• 3 years of relevant industry experience

• Experience with version control tools such as Git or Mercurial

• Knowledge of sampling theory, digital signal processing, and spectral analysis

• Proficiency with MATLAB
