Senior Specialist, Electrical Engineer (ROCHESTER)

Job Description

L3Harris Airborne Imaging in Rochester, NY has an immediate need for highly motivated FPGA design engineer. In this role you will develop, simulate, and integrate in lab highly specialized firmware designs targeting multi-spectral imaging systems.

Responsibilities

• Generate firmware derived requirements
• Architecture of digital solutions to meet said requirements
• Formal test / lab verification of the functional imaging system
• Work semi-autonomously as a lead designer, potentially driving a small team of firmware engineers through coding, simulation, code analysis, and circuit card design support

Essential Functions

• Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA specifications.
• Architect solutions targeting FPGAs against requirements and implement those solutions on FPGA platforms.
• Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities.
• Review product specifications, and generate system and module-level block diagrams, flow diagrams, and design concepts.
• Refine and enforce consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
• Lead teams of engineers generating the FPGA design solutions.
• Ensure the FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
• Lead the full life cycle development and integration of VHDL into different families of FPGAs.
• Experience coding in VHDL and modeling algorithms, simulating and integrating multiple FPGA-based modules.
• Lead the bench-level system integration with hardware, software, and other FPGA designs.
• Support proposal efforts and early stages of the program to define detailed system requirements.
• Support the planning and execution of project plans, design reviews and production release of modified or new product documentation.
• Support qualification and production test in the event of test failures.
• Support customer with use and troubleshooting of fielded products.
