We are looking for a signal processing focused digital design and verification engineer to support development of tactical communication products. The candidate will function in an FPGA developer/verification role, working in a cross functional team environment to design, verify and test modem/signal processing-based FPGA firmware for radio communication systems. Successful candidates must have experience with RTL development using VHDL, as well as FPGA verification methodologies using System Verilog. Candidate will be required to analyze requirements, create FPGA specifications/development plans, create FPGA verification/test plans, code firmware designs in VHDL, code test benches in System Verilog, and verify designs meet requirements.

DESIRED (not required) SKILLS:
:: Experience with MatLab, Simulink or similar digital signal processing (DSP) modelling tools
:: Experience in communication system signal processing theory and waveform design
:: Experience with TCL or Python scripting languages
:: Working knowledge and experience in implementation and testing of MODEM RF Designs
:: Experience with Universal Verification Methodology (UVM)
:: Working knowledge and experience with vendor specific FPGA verification tools (Mentor Questa, Visualizer)
:: Active US Government security clearance
:: Ability to work efficiently with remotely located teams and co-workers
:: Solid technical writing skills and ability to communicate technical concepts/solutions both inside and outside of the organization.
:: Experience with Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools such as SVN (Subversion), GIT (Bitbucket), etc.
