• Develop, debug, and integrate processor subsystem features and interfaces in FPGA hardware for advanced processors.
• Develop high-speed serial interferences inside an FPGA. (SERDES)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including other engineering disciplines.
• Stay current on industry best practices and technological advancements in FPGA design and Digital Signal Processing.

This position requires obtaining, after starting in the role, a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.  An interim or final U.S. Secret clearance post-start is required.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience): 

• Years of related experience: 1+ for level 2, 3+ for level 3, 5+ for level 4.
• Experience using FPGA design tools (such as: Modelsim, Xilinx Vivado or ISE, Altera Quartus, Microsemi, or similar).
• Experience with Hardware Description Language (HDL) code development.
• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• MSEE, MSCE experience.
• Experience with Verilog, C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink, …
• Synopsis Synplify, Synopsis VCS, NCSim, ChipScope tool sets.
• Experience with Xilinx/AMD and MicroSemi/Microchip part families internal FPGA fabric and IP.
• FPGA design experience with tools noted above.
• Previous experience related to aerospace design techniques.
• Experience with management of Configuration Control (GitLab preferred).
• Experience with Vivado and Vitis FPGA toolsets.
• Experience with UVM.
• Experience working with Versal FPGAs.
• Experience with troubleshooting and debugging with board-level testing and FPGA validation.
• Experience in FPGA life cycle (architecture, design, simulation, verification, validation, integration & test).

Typical Education & Experience:

Level 2: Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), computer science, engineering data science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 2 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications. In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.

Level 3: Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), computer science, engineering data science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications. In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.

Level 4: Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), computer science, engineering data science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications. In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
