What you'll do

This is a role for a Programmable Logic Engineer who is eager to contribute to a small, fast-paced team. You will participate in the design, documentation, implementation, prototyping, and testing of FPGA features on cutting edge high speed or ultra-low power digital circuit boards for encrypted communications systems including Layer 2 and Layer 3 In-line Network Encryptors, and embedded cryptographic devices. You will interface and collaborate with other FPGA designers as well as system, hardware, software, and test engineers as new capabilities are developed and transitioned into service. After a design is fielded, you will provide support to production and product support as needed.


The day-to-day

• Design FPGA module and system level architectures with Verilog and/or VHDL

• Develop simulations for modules and systems

• Synthesizes Verilog and/or VHDL to FPGA products

• Develop timing constraints, analyze timing results, and implement design changes required to close timing

• Generate and collaborate on required design documents, development requirements, specifications and verification protocols

• Develop, test and support embedded firmware for current and future products

• Work closely with hardware and hardware engineers, bringing up boards, interpreting data sheets and schematics

• Conduct code and design reviews and participate in cross functional reviews

• Maintain and control FPGA code revision history

• Responsible for owning and driving technical issues to resolution

• Integrates and debugs design in the laboratory


What you'll need

  • 5+ years FPGA design experience
  • Foundational knowledge of digital logic and timing considerations
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to work with a temporally and geographically diverse team
  • Attention to detail, ability to follow process and coding guidelines, participate in code reviews and accept feedback
  • Experience with Programmable Logic EDA tools, such as AMD/Xilinx ISE/Vivado, Intel/Altera Quartus, Siemens/Mentor Graphics, Synopsys Synplify, etc.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and implement FPGA modules using Verilog or VHDL
  • Understanding of embedded processor software and peripheral interfacing to PL/HW
  • Familiarity with designing and coding for re-use, maintainability and a scalability
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
  • US government position. US citizenship required
  • Active DoD Secret Clearance or ability to obtain when administratively feasible


What will help you on the job

  • Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
  • Experience with common ASIC design and verification tools from Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor Graphics
  • Familiarity with TCL, Perl, Python or another scripting language
  • Proven experience in debugging, diagnosing, and troubleshooting embedded designs
  • System Verilog design verification techniques, UVM, or other advanced verification methodologies
  • Experience in product architecture, system level considerations, size-power-performance-price trade-offs
  • Experience and familiarity with Linux-based development environments
  • Active Secret clearance
