Remote FPGA Engineer for Avionics & MedTech

ALTEN Technology USA; Westminster (CO); Remote; USD 125,000 - 145,000; Full time

Job summary

ALTEN Technology USA is seeking a FPGA Electrical Engineer to support aerospace and medtech programs with safety-critical embedded systems and high-performance digital hardware. This role is fully remote, with travel to Colorado for design reviews and testing.

You will design, verify, and integrate FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog, manage the full lifecycle from requirements to validation, and collaborate with systems, hardware, software, and test engineers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on FPGA design and development experience.
• Proficiency in HDL languages (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Experience with FPGA toolchains: Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, Microchip Libero.
• Knowledge of digital design principles, RTL design, and hardware interfaces.
• Experience with simulation, verification, and debugging tools; familiarity with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SPI).
• Ability to work from system-level requirements to implementation and verification.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• Own the full FPGA lifecycle: requirements, architecture, RTL development, simulation, synthesis, and validation.
• Develop verification strategies, including testbenches and simulation-based validation.
• Perform timing analysis, place-and-route, and optimization using industry tools (Vivado, Quartus, Libero).
• Integrate FPGA designs into hardware platforms and support system bring-up and lab validation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, hardware, software, and test engineers.
• Support compliance with industry standards (e.g., DO-254 for aerospace, FDA/ISO for medical devices).
• Troubleshoot complex hardware/firmware issues during development and testing.
• Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
