Digital Design Engineer

Position:
Digital Design Engineer

Location:

Lexington, MA (On-Site)

Length: 3+ Year Contract

Plans, performs, and executes engineering research and design development for both new products and existing products. Performs design/HDL analysis, including high speed and low power designs. Participates in simulation, verification, and integration tasks. Takes algorithmic or functional specifications and converts that to a design that can be implemented for use in a lab or field environment. Develops models, simulates and verifies designs, fabricates prototypes, and tests hardware solutions.

Creates and maintains accurate and detailed design files. Candidate should possess experience in electrical engineering and a track record of demonstrating designs on hardware. Digital HDL design experience is required, including complex, high‑speed HDL based implementations of algorithms targeting programmable logic devices (PLDs, FPGA, ASIC, etc.), microprocessors, DSP and/or ARM processors. Hands‑on experience with code design, simulation, and testing is required.

• 7+ years of experience with team‑based VHDL development processes for FPGA based designs is required, including VHDL code development, simulation, verification, synthesis, high‑speed timing closure and hardware‑based acceleration
• Must have excellent verbal and written communication skills
• In‑depth knowledge of Xilinx Ultrascale+ and Versal FPGAs
• Must be able to function proficiently in an exclusively UNIX based environment
• In depth familiarity of UNIX based scripting, Xilinx Vivado, Modelsim/Questa, laboratory test equipment, network test equipment, and source/revision control tools
• Experience developing implementation architectures from requirements documents or high‑level specifications
• Experience using and maintaining legacy IP and UNIX build environments. Requires the ability to troubleshoot designs operating within an integrated system

• Experience with DDR4 memory, terrestrial network standards, DSP processing techniques, and design and debug of complex circuit boards
• Knowledge of Matlab, Perl, TCL, System C, System Verilog
