Lead, Electrical Fpga Design Engineer

Take your career up a few notches with an American technology company, defense contractor, and information technology services provider that produces C6ISR systems and products, wireless equipment, tactical radios, avionics and electronic systems, night vision equipment, and both terrestrial and spaceborne antennas for use in the government, defense, and commercial sectors.
THE JOB
This self-motivated individual will help lead a team to develop FPGA Firmware in the Space & Airborne Systems (SAS) Segment. The SAS Segment provides critical mission solutions for space and airborne domains with defense, intelligence, and commercial applications. As an FPGA Design Engineer, you will be directly involved in the design, integration, and test of advanced satellite communication links, digital telemetry, signal processing, and encryption technology. As a Lead FPGA Engnieer your roles and responsibilities will include:

• Support proposal efforts in the estimation and planning of end-to-end FPGA development.
• Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA requirements and specifications.
• Architect solutions against requirements and implement those solutions in various FPGA technologies or platforms.
• Lead small teams of engineers in executing FPGA development of highly reliable and robust FPGA designs.
• Follow, enforce, and refine consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
• Develop HDL code for module and top level and generate appropriate testbench and verification environments.
• Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities.
• Synthesize designs to targeted technologies and perform constraint driven place and route and analysis.
• Develop FPGA simulations to verify performance and requirements, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
• Present and review technical designs internally and customer facing.

DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Most importantly, you need to be a passionate Lead FPGA Engineer who enjoys his work and is considered to be one of the best within your organization. The ideal Lead FPGA Engineer would be someone with deep experience in many (if not all) of the following:

• BS degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering and 9 or more years of professional experience with firmware development, or a Graduate Degree with a minimum of 7 years relevant firmware experience
• Active Top Secret or Secret clearance
• Experience with VHDL, the FPGA design process, and the tools used to design and verify FPGA designs
• Experience building FPGAs with difficult timing and/or difficult routing constraints
• Experience with standard lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators
• Experience or familiarity with NSA approved crypto designs
• Experience with UVM and System Verilog

We understand that even if you are a seasoned Lead FPGA Engineer you may not have all the skills listed here. If you are a good at what you do and have a willingness to learn, lets talk.
