About the role

We are looking for an FPGA Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Reston, Virginia. In this role, you will be responsible for rapidly developing, testing, and implementing FPGA designs using Xilinx SoC/FPGA. This will require skills in digital circuit design, VHDL/Verilog coding and simulation.

Responsibilities

• Integrate third-party vendor IP, as necessary.
• Participate in the entire design life cycle: from requirements and concept, through design and hands-on testing/board bring-up.
• Implement a variety of signal types such as high-speed communications (Ethernet, serial), and signal processing (analog, digital).
• Ensure designs meet all relevant safety and performance standards, with traceability back to top-level system requirements, as necessary.
• Investigate and resolve bugs found during hands-on testing (at HDL level and system level).

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in FPGA/HDL hardware design.
• Experience with Xilinx SoC is highly preferred.
• Familiarity with design software such as Vivado (preferred), ModelSim, or Quartus.
• Proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, challenging environment.
• Excellent problem-solving and organizational skills.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Experience in SoC hardware bring-up, preferably on ARM-based systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge of designing for safety-critical functions.
• FPGA interfaces and high-speed buses.
• Experience with systems on a chip (SoC).
• Low-level firmware (C/C++) development for bring-up and test.
