About the position

The Lead FPGA Design Electrical Engineer will play a crucial role in developing FPGA firmware for the Space & Airborne Systems (SAS) Segment, which focuses on providing mission solutions for space and airborne domains. This position involves leading a team in the design, integration, and testing of advanced satellite communication links, digital telemetry, signal processing, and encryption technology, ensuring high reliability and performance in FPGA designs.

Responsibilities

• Support proposal efforts in estimating and planning end-to-end FPGA development.
• Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA requirements and specifications.
• Architect solutions against requirements and implement those solutions in various FPGA technologies or platforms.
• Lead small teams of engineers in executing FPGA development of highly reliable and robust FPGA designs.
• Follow, enforce, and refine consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
• Develop HDL code for module and top level and generate appropriate testbench and verification environments.
• Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities.
• Synthesize designs to targeted technologies and perform constraint driven place and route and analysis.
• Develop FPGA simulations to verify performance and requirements, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
• Present and review technical designs internally and customer facing.

Requirements

• Bachelor's of Science degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering and 9 or more years of professional experience with firmware development, or a Graduate Degree with a minimum of 7 years relevant firmware experience.
