Job description

This is a direct role with a prestige employer in the defense industry!
More details about the employer will be shared as you apply and connect with the recruiter.
We currently have multiple levels available for this position, from a senior level (5+ years of experience) all the way up to senior principal (10+ years of experience) Job Summary: The Electrical Team develops electronics for our weapon system products and is looking for FPGA and Digital Design candidates to join them. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing. In this role you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: 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, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required. 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) test 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 Qualifications You Must Have:
-Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or relevant STEM degree
-A minimum of 5 years of experience to include at least three (3) of the following:
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
-Hands on experience with integration and debug of FPGA/ASIC devices
T-he ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance prior to the start date is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
-An advanced degree in a related field may be substituted for two additional years of experience Qualifications We Value:
-FPGA/ASIC design experience in one or more of the following areas:
-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 System Verilog
-Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce
