Responsibilities to Anticipate: 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) Translate 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. Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route.
