Role Summary Seeking a senior-level FPGA Engineer to support the design, development, verification, and integration of production-quality FPGA solutions for advanced defense systems. This role covers the full FPGA lifecycle from requirements and architecture through VHDL coding, simulation, place-and-route, integration, debug, and production release support.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and verify FPGA designs using VHDL.

• Support FPGA architectures for system-level applications.

• Translate system-level requirements into FPGA requirements.

• Perform simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, integration, and debug.

• 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.

• SystemVerilog / UVM verification experience.

• Experience with emulation platforms such as Veloce.

• Strong technical documentation and review support experience.
