Participate in the development of FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs commonly support the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces. Collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architecture, modeling of algorithms, partitioning, code development, simulation, and place and route. Verify designs against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through production release. Design documentation and configuration management are required. 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 program schedules on time and budget.

Experience in FPGA/ASIC design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA/ASIC verification (SystemVerilog coding). This position requires 12 months or less of relevant professional work experience (excluding internships).

FPGA 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).
