Job summary

V2X, Inc. is seeking an Embedded Firmware Engineer to join our Embedded Solutions team in the Engineering Solutions organization.

Focused on FPGA-based solutions, you will design, simulate, and validate RTL using VHDL/Verilog for modern FPGA platforms, and integrate with embedded processors and firmware across DoD-grade hardware. You will collaborate with senior engineers in a multidisciplinary environment, contribute to timing closure, and perform hardware bring-up and debugging using lab

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field.
• Approximately 2–5 years professional experience in FPGA or digital logic design (hands-on academic, internship, or professional work considered).
• Proficient with VHDL and/or Verilog for synthesizable RTL design targeting FPGAs.
• Experience with at least one major FPGA toolchain (e.g., Xilinx Vivado/Vitis, Intel Quartus, Microchip Libero) for synthesis, implementation, and bitstream generation.
• Experience with lab-based troubleshooting and board bring-up, including use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or similar tools for FPGA/hardware integration.
• Familiarity with version control and configuration management tools (e.g., Git, Azure DevOps).
• Effective communication skills, strong team orientation, and commitment to continuous technical growth.
• U.S. citizenship required.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and validate FPGA logic solutions using VHDL and/or Verilog, targeting modern FPGA platforms (e.g., AMD/Xilinx, Intel, Microchip).
• Develop and integrate FPGA-based interfaces and processing pipelines for serial buses, memory interfaces, LVDS, and other high-speed or control I/O.
• Create and execute simulation testbenches (e.g., ModelSim/Questa or similar) to verify functional correctness, and support debug using waveform analysis and on-chip debug tools (ILA/SignalTap).
• Contribute to timing constraint development and timing closure, working with senior engineers to meet performance, clocking, and resource-usage requirements.
• Support hardware bring-up, board-level verification, and troubleshooting, using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related lab tools in collaboration with electrical, firmware, and systems engineers.
• Participate in system-level integration and verification, ensuring FPGA designs interoperate correctly with embedded processors, firmware, and external devices.
• Prepare and maintain clear technical documentation, including design descriptions, interface definitions, constraint files, and test logs in accordance with V2X processes.
• Participate in Agile development teams—collaborate via MS Teams, Azure DevOps, and shared digital environments to deliver disciplined, high-quality engineering outcomes.
• Engage in peer code and design reviews, share lessons learned, and support continuous improvement in product quality, safety, and engineering practice. Maintain a strong focus on disciplined execution, safety, quality, and compliance with industry and secure-development practices.
