As an FPGA Design Engineer II you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces.
Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.
What You Will Do- 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)
- Translate 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 to program schedules on time and budget
- Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user's guides
- May lead small teams and mentor junior engineers
- May support internal and external technical reviews
Qualifications You Must Have- Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience
