Digital Design Engineer

We are seeking a talented Digital Design Engineer to join an advanced communications technology team focused on developing next-generation wireless systems, FPGA-based solutions, and high-performance digital signal processing architectures.

This role is ideal for an engineer with strong FPGA firmware experience who enjoys working on cutting-edge prototypes, developing complex digital designs, and bringing innovative communications technologies from concept to hardware implementation.

• Develop and implement digital signal processing blocks using VHDL/Verilog for FPGA-based communication systems
• Design, simulate, synthesize, and optimize FPGA firmware while achieving timing closure
• Work with FPGA SoC architectures and embedded processing platforms
• Develop and validate advanced wireless communication algorithms and waveforms
• Perform hardware integration, lab testing, and system troubleshooting
• Support rapid prototyping and field testing of next-generation communication technologies
• Collaborate across hardware, firmware, and software engineering teams

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 6+ years of FPGA firmware development experience
• Experience with Xilinx FPGA platforms and Vivado
• Experience with FPGA simulation, synthesis, and timing closure
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python, TCL, or Bash
• Experience using lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, and related tools
• Experience with Git or other configuration management tools
• Experience with embedded SoC architectures and FPGA-based systems
• Experience with MATLAB for communications analysis and modeling

• Experience implementing wireless communication waveforms
• Understanding of complete digital communication chains (encoding, modulation, synchronization, baseband processing, etc.)
• Experience with JESD-204B or high-speed FPGA interfaces
• Experience deploying FPGA-based communication systems
