ASIC​/FPGA Design Engineer IV

This role is for an experienced ASIC/FPGA Design Engineer IV responsible for end-to-end development of complex FPGA and/or ASIC solutions in support of advanced defense and space systems. The position focuses on defining architectures, implementing and verifying RTL, and supporting integration and test in a collaborative, high-performance engineering environment.

• Perform all aspects of ASIC and FPGA development across the full lifecycle, from requirements capture through architecture, RTL design, analysis, simulation, and verification.
• Develop, implement, and integrate VHDL/Verilog/System Verilog RTL for complex digital functions, ensuring timing closure, resource efficiency, and adherence to interface and performance requirements.
• Support creation of design documentation, including architecture descriptions, interface specifications, and verification plans.
• Collaborate closely with verification engineers to develop and execute verification strategies, including testbench development, simulation, coverage analysis, and regression execution.
• Participate in design and technical reviews, present design status and trade studies, and support resolution of design and integration issues.
• Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, lab bring-up, and system integration activities as needed to validate FPGA/ASIC designs in target environments.

• Bachelor of Science or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline from an accredited college, or equivalent combined education and experience.
• Substantial professional experience in FPGA/ASIC design and development (typically 5+ years), including architecture, RTL implementation, and simulation.
• Hands-on experience with HDL languages such as VHDL, Verilog, and/or System Verilog.
• Experience developing in a Linux-based environment with industry-standard FPGA/ASIC tool chains.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance
  ; U.S. Citizenship required per client program requirements.

• Experience across the ASIC/FPGA lifecycle
  , including verification, validation, integration, and test.
• Experience with space-grade or qualified FPGAs and ASICs and associated vendor tool flows (e.g., AMD/Xilinx, Microchip/Microsemi, Intel/Altera).
• Knowledge of digital signal processing, high-speed interfaces, or control logic implemented in FPGA/ASIC devices.
• Experience with scripting or automation (e.g., Python, Tcl, shell) to support design, build, or verification flows.
• Familiarity with version control, issue tracking, and project management tools such as Git, JIRA, or similar.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, with experience mentoring junior engineers and contributing technical leadership within project or functional teams.
