FPGA Engineer

Role

• Design RTL for high performance systems including software defined radios, avionics and ground systems, for commercial and US Government projects


• Work with multiple FPGAs and toolchains


• Interface FPGAs with high speed data converters, memories, MCUs


• Design, implement and test radiation mitigation schemes on FPGA


• Collaborate closely with DSP/radio algorithm designer


• Collaborate closely with embedded firmware and software engineers


• Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team.

Requirements

• US Citizenship or Green Card (This is a legal requirement; no exceptions)


• Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent


• 2+ years of experience


• A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development


• Experience in designing, implementing, verifying and testing high throughput systems implemented on FPGAs


• Strong proficiency with Verilog (preferably SystemVerilog) for both synthesis and verification

Bonus 

• MS or PhD in computer engineering or equivalent


• Experience in at least 1 domain beyond just the logic design. This could be DSP/radio design, software, hi-reliability design (e.g. fault analysis & recover), etc.


• Experience with Xilinx FPGAs


• Experience with modern communication systems (RF, IF/IQ, time/freq domains, modulation)


• Experience with Vivado IDE, TCL


• Familiarity with system level estimates and implications of power, thermal, and real estate


• Experience with high speed data converters (ADCs, DACs, JESD204)


• Experience with circuit level debugging


• Experience with digital communication theory and implementation, such as LDPC implementations


• Experience with space-based systems


• Experience with UVM
