Senior Systems & Hardware Engineer (VHDL/FPGA) | TS/SCI

Dormont Manufacturing Co; Fort Meade (FL); On-site; USD 131,800 - 290,000; Full time

Job summary

CACI International Inc. in Fort Meade, MD seeks a Mid to Senior Systems/Hardware Engineer (VHDL) to advance national defense capabilities. You will apply SE and SETA experience to develop DoDAF-aligned hardware solutions and manage requirements across hardware and software interfaces.

The role requires a TS/SCI with Poly clearance and FPGA/VHDL/Verilog expertise, with responsibility for design verification, interface control, and system-level documentation throughout the life cycle.

Qualifications

• Minimum five plus (5+) years of industry experience.
• Current TS/SCI clearance with Poly
• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university or related experience
• Must have knowledge of field‑programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)
• Must have knowledge of ModelSim, for VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL) or Verilog HDL coding and simulations, and Xilinx tools

Responsibilities

• Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) – DoDAF, SOA, etc.
• Assist with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.
• Coordinate resolution of action items from CCB meetings, design reviews, program reviews, and test reviews that require cross-discipline coordination.
• Participate in Integrated Product Teams to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational considerations.
• Allocate real-time process and error budgets to systems and subsystem components.
• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions.
• Define the methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems and work products are verified against their requirements in a written plan.
• Develop system design solutions that satisfies the system requirements and fulfills the functional analysis.
• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structures, work packages, and the integrated master plan.
• Participate in the development of system engineering documentation, such as System Engineering Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents.
• Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle.
• Derive an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred, and implied as essential to system effectiveness from system requirements.
• Derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable.
• Participate in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers.
• Develop derived requirements for Information Assurance Services (Confidentiality, Integrity, Nonrepudiation, and Availability); Basic Information Assurance Mechanisms (e.g., Identification, Authentication, Access Control, Accountability); and Security Mechanism Technology (Passwords, cryptography, discretionary access control, access control, hashing, key management, etc.).
