Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Principal FPGA Design Engineer to join our digital design team at Draper Labs. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of FPGA architectures, designs, and simulations, with a focus on architecture, design, simulation, and test/support.

The ideal candidate will have experience using high-level design and simulation tools, such as Xilinx Vivado and/or Microsemi Libero, and be familiar with process flows supporting design and simulation for digital FPGA efforts. Additionally, they should have significant experience in FPGA design and development, as well as digital simulation using Modelsim/Questa.

The successful candidate will be responsible for translating project and system requirements into well-defined hardware architectures, designing and/or completing instruments, and innovatively solving issues to drive completion of the project to schedule. They will also collaborate with cross-functional teams, build and test prototypes, debug, and prepare documentation for manufacturing and support.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of digital signal processing algorithms, experience with high-speed interfaces like SERDES, PCIe, DDR2/3/4, LVDS, and excellent communication and teaming skills. They should also be a self-starter and a good team player, with the ability to mentor and be mentored.

Applicants selected for this position will be required to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.
