FPGA Developer Security Clearance

Position: FPGA Developer with Security Clearance
We are seeking an experienced Senior FPGA Design Engineer with strong expertise in RTL development, System Verilog/VHDL, and Python to support high-speed networking and mission-critical systems in a classified environment. This role involves designing advanced FPGA solutions, developing custom IP, integrating high-performance interfaces, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver secure, high-reliability products.

Key Responsibilities Design, develop, and implement RTL for high-speed networking applications. Create custom IP cores and integrate third-party IP into complex FPGA designs. Define and implement timing constraints, ensuring full timing closure on high-performance designs. Collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers in a classified environment. Support verification, validation, and debugging activities throughout the design lifecycle. Oversee FPGA implementation, synthesis, place-and-route, and optimization for performance, area, and power.

Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. 7+ years of hands-on FPGA development experience. Strong proficiency in System Verilog and/or VHDL. Demonstrated experience with Xilinx and/or Intel FPGA design tools (Vivado, Quartus, etc.).

Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, and similar technologies. Proficiency in Python for automation, scripting, or design support tasks. Active TS//SCI security clearance (required). Desired Skills Experience developing FPGA solutions for network security applications. Familiarity with networking standards, switching, routing, or packet-processing architectures.

Experience with scripting languages such as Python and Tcl for design automation and workflow optimization. Understanding of hardware security principles, anti-tamper measures, or secure FPGA architectures.
