Senior Electrical Engineer: FPGA

Senior Fpg Engineer

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:

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 interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs)

Constrained random verification in UVM using System Verilog

Experience with High Level Synthesis (HLS)

Experience with vector processors and/or GPUs

Demonstrated ability to lead teams to achieve schedule, budget and technical commitments.

Experience with project management tools such as Earned Value and/or Agile Execution.

Proposal development experience.
