Senior FPGA Design Engineer

About the Role

As a Senior FPGA Design Engineer you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: 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.

What You Will Do

• Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production
• Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
• Translate system level requirements into FPGA requirements
• 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
• Help drive projects and execute program schedules on time and budget
• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user's guides
• Lead small teams and mentor junior engineers
• Support internal and external technical reviews

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience
• Experience in one of the following:
  • FPGA/ASIC design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA/ASIC verification (SystemVerilog coding)
  • Xilinx or Microsemi devices and flow tools
  • Delivering FPGA/ASIC solutions to system level applications
• Experience with integration and debug of FPGA/ASIC devices

Qualifications We Prefer

• FPGA/ASIC design experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • Radar processing techniques
  • Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors
  • Embedded systems design using ARM, Microblaze, or Nios processors
  • Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs)
  • Constrained random verification in UVM using System Verilog
  • Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce

Pay

The salary range for this role is 86,800 USD - 165,200 USD. RTX considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role, function and associated responsibilities, a candidate's work experience, location, education/training, and key skills.

Schedule

9/8 Schedule – every other Friday off! This position can be onsite for the Tewksbury, MA location or the Marlborough, MA location. Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite.

Benefits
