Programmable Logic Engineer Security Clearance

Position: Programmable Logic Engineer with Security Clearance
This is a 100% onsite role located in Carlsbad, CA;
Linthicum Heights, MD; or Marlborough, MA. Overview:
In this role, you will help develop high-speed signal processing algorithms, cryptography, and/or network protocols implemented in FPGAs. You will be responsible for the full design lifecycle, starting from requirements definition through documentation, block diagrams, source code implementation, simulation, place & route, hardware testing, and system integration. You will collaborate with engineers across multiple disciplines and must be comfortable working in both small and large team environments.

Experience in high-performance FPGA designs, network encryptors, and cryptographic devices is a plus. Responsibilities:
* Design FPGA module- and system-level architectures using Verilog and/or VHDL
* Develop simulations for modules and systems
* Synthesize Verilog and/or VHDL designs for FPGA targets
* Develop timing constraints, analyze timing results, and implement design changes to close timing
* Generate and collaborate on design documentation, development requirements, specifications, and verification protocols
* Work closely with hardware engineers to bring up boards and interpret datasheets and schematics
* Conduct code and design reviews and participate in cross-functional technical reviews
* Maintain and manage FPGA code revision history
* Own and drive technical issues through resolution
* Integrate and debug designs in the laboratory

Qualifications:

* Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
* 8+ years of FPGA design experience
* Strong foundation in digital logic and timing analysis
* Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to work on geographically distributed teams
* High attention to detail and ability to follow development processes and coding standards
* Experience with programmable logic EDA tools such as AMD/Xilinx ISE or Vivado, Intel/Altera Quartus, Siemens/Mentor Graphics, Synopsys Synplify, and Microchip soft-core processors
* Proven track record designing and implementing FPGA modules using Verilog and/or VHDL, including simulation and testbench development
* Familiarity with reusable, maintainable, and scalable design practices
* Ability to work independently, take initiative, and own tasks through completion
* US Citizenship required
* Active United States Secret Security Clearance required
* Ability to travel up to 10%
