Llrf Fpga Design Engineer

We Are:
Fermilab is America's premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and at locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, CERN in Europe and the South Pole.
We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are over 2,000 employees advancing knowledge for the benefit of humankind. Fermilab has been at the forefront of particle physics for more than 40 years. We build world-leading accelerators and detectors to conduct some of the most advanced particle physics experiments possible. We collect and analyze the data from those experiments with some of the most powerful computers in the world. We conduct this research on a 6,800-acre prairie, 35 miles outside Chicago, a treasure that has been designated a National Environmental Research Park.
Fermilab seeks a highly motivated LLRF FPGA Design Engineer in the Accelerator Division RF Department's Low-Level RF group to support expanding project needs. The candidate will work in a design team environment under the supervision of a more senior engineer or scientist. Activities for this candidate will include:

• Real-time high-speed signal processing and control systems design using FPGA's
• Develop design specifications based on project requirements.
• Develop model-based design simulation/design using Simulink or MATLAB.
• Support in development of FPGA based real-time embedded systems.
• Perform system verification and validation for efficiency, reliability, and compatibility.
• Design of complex control algorithms for the RF field regulation of RF cavities.
• Contribute optimally within a diverse workforce and upholds Fermilab's dedication to equity, diversity, and inclusion
• Abide by all environment, safety, and health regulations.

We are looking for:

• A minimum of a Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering from an accredited institution or equivalent scientific education (Master's degree preferred)
• 10+ years of firmware development with VHDL/Verilog using Intel/Xilinx FPGA's/Tools
• Experience in logic simulation/verification of complex FPGA designs.
• Experience with Linux operating systems highly desirable.
• RF & Microwave engineering work experience highly desirable
• A strong understanding of digital signal processing, control system design, embedded systems software and firmware development is highly desirable.
• Circuit design experience specifying, implementing, and optimizing circuitry that includes low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, filters, phase locked loops, RF switches, and base band circuits is preferred.

Fermilab is an Equal Opportunity Employer and believes a diverse and inclusive environment based on mutual respect is essential to our mission. Fermilab is committed to recruiting and developing the most hardworking people and does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, religion, age, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, military/veteran status, country of birth, geography/postal code, disability, marital status, parental or gestational status, or other non-merit factor.
REAL-ID Requirement for access to Fermilab Campus
Fermilab and FRA requires all members of the public to produce a REAL-ID, or equivalent, to access the Fermilab Campus for interviews or career events. A list of acceptable forms of ID can be found here: https://get-connected.fnal.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/REALID-Documents.pdf If a candidate is selected for an interview but does not possess any of the equivalent documents, we may schedule a virtual interview.
