Job description

Responsibilities:

• Capture, define and refine product specifications into a set of device level requirements including functional architecture, allocation and justification or derived requirements
• Implementation of requirements into VHDL code including usage of existing IPs, standard protocols (e.g. Omnibus, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, AMBA, etc.)
• Simulation and physical integration and test including trouble shooting, debugging and design modification
• Perform the integration of the design into the larger scale product and/or system
• Create and maintain life cycle data to support the design, implementation and verification of the item
• Support estimation and planning activities

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (or equivalent) with a focus on Digital Design
• 5+ years of FPGA / PLD development experience preferably in aerospace, defense or medical product environments using VHDL or similar languages
• Knowledge and experience with DO-254 or similar guidelines for ensuring a safe and rigorous design process
• Experience designing and implementing interfaces between digital devices and microcontrollers including communications and data busses, common protocols and error handling

Additional Considerations:

• A background in embedded control systems, preferably in the aerospace and defense domain, including working knowledge of system interfaces and sensors such as RVDT/LVDT, BLDC motors, Servo Motors, temperature and pressure sensors and ARINC communications. The ability to model and simulate these aspects in a MatLab/Simulink type environment would be an asset.
• Working knowledge of the ModelSim toolset for development and verification of VHDL designs
• Excellent verbal and communication skills
