Job description
As a Senior FPGA Design Engineer you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for gigabit serial interfaces, radio frequency (RF) and electro‑optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces. Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaboratively model algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place‑and‑route. Designs are verified against requirements using directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.
Security clearance: The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government‑issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance. Security clearance type: Secret. Current security clearance status: Active and existing clearance required after day one.
What You Will Do
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, tracking functional and code coverage.
Help drive projects and execute program schedules on time and budget.
Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user guides.
Lead small teams and mentor junior engineers.
Support internal and external technical reviews.
Qualifications
Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.

FPGA/ASIC design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA/ASIC verification (SystemVerilog coding).
Xilinx or Microsemi devices and flow tools.
Delivering FPGA/ASIC solutions to system‑level applications.
Experience with integration and debug of FPGA/ASIC devices.
Preferred Qualifications
Radar processing techniques.
Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors.
Embedded systems design using ARM, Microblaze, or Nios processors.
Gigabit serial interfaces and multi‑gigabit transceivers (MGTs).
Constrained random verification in UVM using SystemVerilog.
Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce.
Benefits and Compensation
Salary range: 86,800 USD – 165,200 USD.
Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short‑term and long‑term disability.
