In this role, you will help develop high-speed signal processing algorithms and/or network protocols in FPGAs. The individual will be responsible for the full design phase starting from the requirements phase to documentation, block diagrams, implementation of source code, simulation, place & route, testing in hardware, and integration. The individual will collaborate with other engineers from different fields and must be capable of working in both a small team setting and a larger team setting. Experience in the development of high-performance FPGA designs, network encryptors, and cryptographic devices is a plus.The day-to-day:
  • Design FPGA module and system-level architectures with Verilog and/or VHDL
  • Develop simulations for modules and systems
  • Synthesizes Verilog and/or VHDL to FPGA products
  • Develop timing constraints, analyze timing results, and implement design changes required to close timing
  • Generate and collaborate on required design documents, development requirements, specifications, and verification protocols
  • Work closely with hardware and hardware engineers, bringing up boards, interpreting data sheets, and schematics
  • Conduct code and design reviews and participate in multi-functional reviews
  • Maintain and control FPGA code revision history
  • Responsible for owning and driving technical issues to resolution
  • Integrates and debugs design in the laboratory
What you'll need:
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 8+ years FPGA design experience
  • Foundational knowledge of digital logic and timing considerations
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to work with a geographically distributed team
  • Attention to detail, ability to follow process and coding guidelines, participate in code reviews, and accept feedback
  • Experience with Programmable Logic EDA tools, such as AMD/Xilinx ISE/Vivado, Intel/Altera Quartus, Siemens/Mentor Graphics, Synopsys Synplify, SoftCore Micro embedments in MicroChip, etc.
  • Proven track record to design and implement FPGA modules using Verilog and/or VHDL with simulation and testbench development
  • Familiarity with designing and coding for re-use, maintainability, and scalability
  • Desire to be a member of a team, collaborating on large system designs
  • Work independently, take initiative, and take ownership of tasks and results
  • US citizenship required
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a United States Secret Clearance
