At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

The Multi-Product Power & Digital (MPD) department designs FPGAs, circuit cards, and electronics subassemblies for a range of products including missiles/effectors, radars, and electronic warfare systems.  The team leverages digital, analog, and power design skills to provide support throughout the product lifecycle from architecture and design through production and sustainment.

The MPD department is seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will leverage advanced technologies to create cutting-edge solutions for sensor and effector products. You will partner with experienced, multidisciplinary teams to define requirements, develop architectures, execute detailed design and simulations, and perform integration and verification tasks. You will document your designs within the appropriate configuration management tools and provide comprehensive engineering support throughout the product lifecycle.

This position is an onsite role, located in Fort Wayne, IN.

What You Will Do

• Provide full lifecycle support of production quality FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: AMD (Xilinx), Altera, and Microchip (Microsemi) using tools such as AMD Vivado, Altera Quartus Prime Pro or Libero. 

• Generate FPGA designs for the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces.

• Support translation of system level requirements into FPGA requirements

• Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

• Lead FPGA designs 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

• Define schedules for FPGA tasking and drive execution to the planned budget and schedule.

• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user’s guides

• Lead individual designs and/or small teams.

• Operate with minimal oversight from manager.

• Support internal and external technical reviews.

• Engage in knowledge transfer activities and mentorship of junior engineers.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.

• Experience to include one or more of the following:

  • FPGA/ASIC design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA/ASIC verification (SystemVerilog coding)

  • Experience with AMD (Xilinx), Altera and/or Microchip (Microsemi) devices and with tools such as AMD Vivado, Altera Quartus Prime Pro or Libero.

  • Hands on experience with integration and debug of FPGA/ASIC in a lab environment

  • Experience with timing closure, clock domain crossing and reset domain crossing analysis, and constraint development.

  • Experience with source code management, design reviews, and code release in a team development environment.

Qualifications We Prefer

• One or more advanced degrees in Electrical Engineering or a related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major.  A suitable degree may be counted as 2 years of work experience."

• FPGA/ASIC design experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Radar processing techniques

  • Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors

  • Embedded systems design using ARM, Microblaze, or NIOS processors

  • Gigabit serial interfac
