Harris EW in Clifton, NJ 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 electronic warfare systems. Responsibilities include generation of firmware derived requirements, architecture of digital solutions to meet said requirements and formal test / lab verification of the functional system. The qualified candidate is able to 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.

• 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.
• Support team leaders generating FPGA design solutions.
• Ensure the FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
• Participate in 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
• Drive the bench-level system integration with hardware, software, and other FPGA designs
• 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
• Candidate must be a U.S. citizen and be able to obtain a Security Clearance.

• BS Degree in electrical/computer engineering and 4+ years of professional experience, an MS degree in electrical/computer engineering and 2+ years of professional experience, or 8+ years of related experience without a degree

• An active Secret security clearance
• Thorough understanding of version control best practices and tools (subversion, git, etc.) to closely track changes to the FPGA baseline.
• Experience with control protocols such I2C, SPI, RS-232/422, and DDR3 / DDR
  4.
• Experience with complex block and top-level simulations of FPGA designs requiring high level transaction-based models.
• Ability to multi-task and prioritize assignments in a fast-paced work environment and to complete design/project goals with minimal oversight and direction.
• Formal FPGA verification experience, UVM, Directed Testing, Code Coverage
• Experience with and understanding of Altera or Xilinx FPGA architectures
• Experience with high-speed serial protocols (PCI Express, SRIO, Ethernet)
• Experience designing Network Interface Designs
• Experience in network protocols including IPv6 and UDP
• Experience with SoC (Kintex Ultra Scale/Ultra Scale+, Virtex Ultra Scale/Ultra Scale+, Zynq Ultra Scale)
• Experience with VHDL
