About the position
At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling - to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today's mission and stay ahead of tomorrow's threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. The Electrical Engineer will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, Lattice, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for applications such as gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.
Responsibilities
- Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production
- 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 plan, and user's guides
- Work cooperatively with systems, hardware, software engineers, and program management to ensure product success
- Independently drive projects and execute to program schedules on time and budget
- Demonstrate self-motivation, with little supervision required
- Support internal and external technical review
Requirements
- Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or STEM equivalent (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics)
- Minimum of five (5) years of relevant experience including at least two (2) of the following: Experience with Digital design and/or VHDL coding, Experience in delivering FPGA solutions to system level applications, Experience in FPGA devices and flow tools, Experience with integration and debug
