FPGA Engineer

Description:

Develops, designs, verifies, and documents Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) development. Determines architecture design, logic design, and system simulation.

Assignments include the analysis of all aspects from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, and timing and power utilization.

Typically uses specialized equipment to establish operation data, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results.

Support Circuit card designer with trade studies. Develop and release design requirement specifications for product.

Support of production environment in debugging and troubleshooting FPGA related issues in a production environment will be a critical component of this particular role.

Top Skills Needed:

ACTIVE SECRET CLEARANCE

- Familiar with mix language FPGA design implementation like Verilog and VHDL.

- Create or update existing FPGA simulation and test case with false insertions.

- Able to design comprehensive FPGA top level test benches on existing FPGA design. Including incorporate testing case from lab issues to validate any design changes.

- Debug existing FPGA design's timing constraint or compile log from EDA tools like Xilinx FPGA devices

- Basic understanding of circuit with ability to troubleshooting hardware issues from schematic drawing.

- Experience with test equipment including oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, digital multi-meter.

- Operate independently to troubleshoot hardware to help isolate problem down to root cause and incorporate any FPGA related corrective actions.

- Candidate must be willing learn FPGA DSP design in order to support DSP related FPGA issues or development.

- Familiar with configuration management tools like GIT or similar tool

- Candidate must be able to support on-site full-time

Other Skills & Qualifications:

- Familiar with RADAR hardware system and design is a plus.

- Understand of System Verilog and ability incorporate simulation UVM simulation is a plus.

- Knowledge or experience in signal processing in FPGA is a plus which include MathWorks HDL coder or similar MATLAB based FPGA DSP design tools for signal processing.
