  • Write clean, maintainable RTL (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog) that meets performance, power and reliability goals.
  • Develop synthesis, place and route and timing closure strategies to guarantee deterministic operation on target devices.
  • Create comprehensive test plans, simulation models and verification environments (UVM, SystemC, Python based testbenches) to validate functional correctness and timing margins.
  • Lead hardware in the loop (HIL) testing, board level debugging and integration with subsystem hardware.
  • Conduct timing analysis, power budgeting and resource utilization studies to optimize device selection and FPGA utilization.
  • Manage configuration control using GitLab (or equivalent), maintain version controlled repositories and ensure full traceability of all artifacts.
  • Produce complete design documentation—specifications, test plans, verification reports and release packages—that complies with aerospace standards.
  • Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, mechanical, test, manufacturing and quality teams to guarantee seamless integration and milestone compliance.
  • Mentor junior engineers, championing best practices in FPGA development, verification and configuration management.
