This position is for a highly experienced and motivated Electrical (or Computer) Engineering Lead that will be involved in the architecture, design, implementation, verification, and integration of a wide variety of high-performance digital systems that incorporate FPGAs and ASICs into a product solution. As an electrical engineer in this organization, you will employ best practice project management methodologies supporting our next generation of Avionics Products, in addition to numerous products enterprise-wide.

• ASIC/FPGA/SoPC digital architecture development and design.
• Develop RTL design code and simulation in VHDL, Verilog, and/or System Verilog.
• Create UVM constrained random environments using System Verilog.
• Create placement and timing constraints.
• Perform synthesis, place and route.
• Perform static timing analysis, linting analysis, LEC, and clock-domain-crossing analysis.
• Requirements capture, decomposition, and traceability.
• Perform ASIC/FPGA/SoPC verification using inspection, analysis, simulation, and test methods.
• Lead the pursuit, proposal, planning and execution of Design and Development Projects for Avionics complex devices.
• Develop project and program strategies to advance the complex hardware discipline and products.
• Ensure alignment to program, product line, and corporate goals while meeting certification requirements up to and including DO-254 DAL
  
  A.
• Communicate with a wide variety of individuals including Engineering, Program Management, Internal Leadership, Supply Chain, Operations, Service Centers, and Customers.

• You will learn the technologies of today and tomorrow which we count on to maintain world leadership in the avionics industry.
• You will learn all phases of the hardware product life cycle from requirements through to verification, while employing the company engineering processes to produce high quality products.
• You will learn the requirements for product certification required by federal agencies.
• You will learn how to establish and maintain a computing module platform product line with a broad base of customers.
