Job description

We are looking for a skilled Systems Engineer with hands‑on experience in VHDL‑based chip development to support the design, integration, and testing of complex digital systems. This role bridges the gap between high‑level system requirements and detailed hardware implementation, contributing to end‑to‑end development of custom digital solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Analyze system requirements and translate them into hardware architecture and specifications.

Design, develop, and verify digital hardware using VHDL.

Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure seamless integration across platforms.

Conduct simulations, synthesis, and timing analysis to validate design functionality and performance.

Support hardware bring‑up, debugging, and system‑level testing.

Requirements

TS SCI with Polygraph Clearance required.

Strong experience in digital system design using VHDL.

Demonstrated expertise in FPGA or ASIC development processes.

Familiarity with simulation tools such as ModelSim and synthesis tools (Synopsys, Xilinx Vivado).

Ability to work from system‑level requirements to detailed design and implementation.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Verilog and mixed‑language design environments.

Background in embedded systems or system‑on‑chip (SoC) design.

Familiarity with industry‑standard protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).

Exposure to system‑level tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or scripting languages (Python, TCL).
