Senior FPGA HW Engineer

We’re looking for an experienced and best-in-class Senior FPGA/HW Engineer to join our rapidly expanding team as we develop advanced radar and millimeter-wave-based people screening platforms for the aviation and commercial markets.

About the role

As part of a multi-disciplined technology development team, you will collaborate with RF, Mechanical, System, and Software engineers to develop and validate new and existing designs. Responsibilities include the selection, development, and integration of FPGAs for system-level designs, spanning low-level hardware control and status for embedded systems, high-speed links, high-level IP blocks, and custom hardware-accelerated algorithms and filters.

Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate FPGAs for system-level designs, including low-level hardware control, high-speed links, IP blocks, and custom hardware-accelerated algorithms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (RF, Mechanical, System, and Software engineers) to validate designs.
• Perform verification using RTL and gate-level simulations and debug.
• Work with FPGA/computer peripherals and I/O subsystems, such as DDR memory, flash, PCIe, 1G/10G Ethernet, SPI, I2C, clocking, and synchronization subsystems.
• Utilize lab debug equipment, including oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.

Requirements

• BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 7+ years of relevant experience.
• Proficiency in VHDL/Verilog RTL language.
• Hands-on experience with FPGA development on Altera or Xilinx devices.
• Experience with verification methodologies, simulations, and debug.
• Strong communication skills and a desire to tackle diverse challenges.

Preferred Qualifications

• Analog and digital board development experience.
• Experience with RF, microwave, or mm-wave systems.
• Working experience with Artix7 and Kintex Ultrascale FPGA families.
• Experience with MATLAB or Python.
• Knowledge of design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
• Experience in the security technology market space.

Working Environment

• Primarily office-based with standard office equipment.
• Dynamic environment requiring management of multiple projects and deadlines.
