Job summary

RTX in Tucson, AZ is seeking a Senior Principal FPGA Design Engineer to lead architecture and design of FPGA-based systems using VHDL and Verilog across major vendors like Xilinx and Microsemi. The role is 100% onsite and requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a DoD security clearance.

You will drive requirements translation, verification, and documentation, coaching engineers, and coordinating with systems teams to deliver complex, reliable solutions for defense applications.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience
• System level FPGA requirements specification and architecture development and the ability to identify links and potential impact on projects, programs or systems.
• Proposal experience to include basis of estimate generation, resource identification, and constraint -based program schedule planning.
• Strong understanding of design hand-off requirements for system requirements, configurable logic, software, mechanical analysis and tests.
• FPGA/ASIC design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA/ASIC verification (SystemVerilog coding)
• Xilinx or Microsem i devices and flow tools

Responsibilities

• Leader of FPGA-based systems architecture, and design to include determination of parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS).Delivering quality releases from initial proof of concept up through production.
• Establish processes and operational plans for a project.
• Independently drive projects and execute to program schedules on time and budget.
• May lead large integrated or cross product teams on moderate to large multi-year programs.
• Design, develop, implement and verify highly complex configurable logic solutions for products that significantly improves on an existing product.
• Solve problems that are numerous and typically undefined where information is difficult to obtain.
• Conducts extensive investigation to understand root cause of problems.
• Communicates with parties within and outside of own function which would include customers, vendors, and executive leadership.
• Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
• Translate system-level requirements into FPGA requirements.
• Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability.
• Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage.
• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plans, and user’s guides.
• Viewed as subject-matter expert within discipline
• Coaches, reviews, and delegates work to junior engineers
• Support internal and external technical reviews
• Support customer interactions and relations
• Make improvements to processes, systems or products to enhance overall performance
