Senior FPGA Engineer - (RF/Comm Systems/Simulink)

Accountabilities:

• • Collaborate with RF, DSP, firmware, software, FPGA, and test engineers to deliver robust embedded processing solutions for communications and networking systems.
  • Own FPGA firmware development from MATLAB and/or Simulink algorithms and requirements definition through architecture, design, implementation, verification, integration, support, and sustainment.
  • Develop and optimize FPGA implementations for low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs.
  • Establish and improve development workflows and engineering best practices covering HDL architecture, design, simulation, verification, and system-level testing.
  • Develop microprocessor interface control documents (ICDs) supporting FPGA integration with message and data-handling architectures.
  • Support hardware and embedded systems development from initial concept through production and ongoing system sustainment.
  • Test, troubleshoot, and integrate FPGA and embedded solutions across complex communications hardware and PCB assemblies.

  Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or an equivalent technical discipline.
  • 6+ years of experience designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA-based systems using VHDL or Verilog.
  • Demonstrated experience working with cross-functional hardware or embedded systems teams and taking firmware/software solutions from concept to production.
  • Experience using code-generation tools to translate MATLAB/Simulink algorithms into FPGA implementations, including at least 2 years of Simulink experience.
  • Proficiency in C and C++ and experience working with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
  • Familiarity with MCU, CPU, FPGA, and related embedded technologies.
  • Experience with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB.
  • Familiarity with embedded or flight software architectures and development processes.
  • Ability to use standard electrical engineering test equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators, and experience testing PCB assemblies.
  • Strong cross-functional communication, analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience with wireless communications systems, computer networking, enhanced security measures, or AI-assisted software development is preferred.
