What you'll do

• Deliver complete FPGA and ASIC‑related design solutions from concept through implementation.
• Define functional and architectural specifications for FPGA/ASIC blocks and digital subsystems.
• Model and implement fixed‑point digital signal processing (DSP) functions and high‑speed data‑path logic.
• Write RTL code (Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog) and perform functional simulation, debugging, synthesis, timing closure, and power estimation.
• Integrate FPGAs into larger systems, collaborating closely with Systems, Hardware, Firmware, and ASIC Verification teams across multiple sites.
• Manage constraint files, verification environments, functional simulations, and design documentation.
• Use FPGA transceivers, SERDES, and high‑speed communication interfaces (10G Ethernet, JESD, CPRI, etc.).
• Contribute to process improvements, design reviews, and continuous enhancement of tools, methodologies, and product quality.

What you'll need to get the job done

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Strong knowledge of RTL design languages: Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog.
• Experience with modern FPGA technologies and SoC architectures such as Xilinx Zynq, Intel Stratix, and similar.
• Hands‑on experience with FPGA development tools from multiple vendors (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Microchip/Microsemi).
• Proficiency in constraint management, RTL optimization, floorplanning, and achieving timing closure.
• Experience managing multiple clock domains and working with high‑speed transceivers.
• Experience integrating 3rd‑party IP blocks and using built‑in FPGA DSP resources.
• Knowledge of verification methodologies including UVM, Assertion‑Based Verification, and functional simulation.
• Familiarity with scripting tools such as TCL, Python, Perl, and build/simulation automation environments.
• Strong analytical mindset with a structured approach to problem‑solving.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a cross‑functional engineering team.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

What will make us REALLY love you

• A friendly willingness to collaborate, share knowledge, and communicate effectively across engineering teams.
• A clear passion for project‑based work, continuous learning, and staying at the top of your technical game.
• Experience designing for aerospace, defense, avionics, or other regulated industries.
• Familiarity with ruggedized, mission‑critical, or safety‑critical hardware design practices.
