Job description

At Wyetech, you’ll be at the center of an award‑winning corporate culture, breaking technological barriers and solving real‑world problems for our federal government customers. We are committed to hiring the best of the best, and in return, we offer a world‑class, truly unique employee experience that is rare within our industry.

We are seeking an experienced senior HW/SW Design Engineer to join a small team to design, develop, construct, and test electronic hardware (FPGA) and software processing components for subsystems supporting RF communication and collection systems. This position requires expertise in FPGA development, digital signal processing implementation, and software‑hardware integration to support mission critical requirements. The contractor will lead technical design efforts, implement DSP algorithms and associated technical components in FPGA hardware, integrate with existing Linux code bases, bridge FPGA to software stack connection, and document those efforts. This role combines hardware design responsibilities (FPGA RTL development, timing closure, resource optimization) with software development (integration code, system‑level software) to deliver complete subsystem solutions.

Due to federal contract requirements, United States citizenship and an appropriate security clearance are required. Candidates must hold an active TS/SCI security clearance with agency‑appropriate polygraph.

Required Qualifications

• TS/SCI clearance with agency‑appropriate polygraph.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent with at least 8 years of relevant experience.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong experience in FPGA coding and digital signal processing theory and application.
• Experience interfacing FPGA code with existing code bases and software.
• Knowledge of signal processing blocks and related DSP components.
• Linux operating system familiarity.
• Proficiency in C and C++ programming.

Desired Technical Skills

• Additional experience with Vivado.
• Experience with Epiq Solution PDK preferred.

Pay Range

$73.94 – $100.13 per hour (pre‑benefit gross wage).

Benefits Package

• Wyetech automatically contributes 20% of each employee’s gross compensation to a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, fully vested from day one.
• Generous PTO plan of up to 200 hours annually, aligned with applicable state leave regulations; flexible allocation at the start of each calendar year.
• Participation in voluntary benefit plans: medical (some with HSA), vision and dental, life and AD&D, short‑term and long‑term disability, hospital indemnity, accident and critical illness insurance, optional identity theft and legal protection services.
• Employee referral bonus eligibility up to $10,000.
• Mobility among Wyetech‑supported contracts and various contract/work locations throughout Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii and OCONUS.
• Team‑building events such as monthly lunches, summer company picnic, and annual holiday party.
• Two complementary branded clothing orders annually.
