FPGA Design Engineer

A top Aerospace and Defense company

Multiple roles

Location: Lafayette, Colorado

Rate: $50 to $62 per hour on a W2 non-benefitted contract

Required Skill

• BS degree or higher in Electrical Engineering (technical experience reviewed in lieu of alternative degree).
• Over 4 years detailed electronics design experience with at least 2 years of FPGA design experience (verification experience is a plus).
• Design concept discussions, system specifications, system analyses and failure reporting.
• Ability to contribute to technical group discussions.
• Small team environment with enthusiastic technical experts with a willingness to mentor and be mentored.
• Familiarity with clock domain crossing (CDC) tools and FPGA design pitfalls is nice to have.
• Familiar with AXI based design, DMA, and scripting tools.
• Experience with embedded processor-based electronics architecture.

Desired Skill

• FPGA designs based on detailed design requirements using primarily VHDL.
• Design and verify margin, compliance, and fault robustness of high-speed serial interfaces such as 10 Mb /100Mb/1Gb Ethernet, SpaceWire and LVDS interfaces using simulation methods such as UVM, OVM, or a functional test bench (module and system level).
• Capture requirements, create state diagrams, timing diagrams, and other design documentation as required by the design process.
• Design robust Finite State Machines (FSMs) and interface logic.
• Generate FPGA test vectors and simulation test benches, executing them in a verification environment such as ModelSim or QuestaSim.
• Develop constraints for and synthesize FPGA designs using ISE, Libero, Libero SoC, and Vivado tool suites.
• Capable of chip-level and board-level debug in the lab with a variety of test equipment with supervision as needed.
