FPGA Design Engineer Sr

Description

You will be the FPGA Engineer for the Digital Logic Integration team. Our team delivers mission critical hardware and software that connects sensors, actuators and compute platforms across a range of defense programs, ensuring reliable, high performance operation from concept through fielding.

• Elicit, refine and document functional and performance requirements for FPGA designs.
• Create detailed RTL (VHDL/Verilog/System Verilog) and accompanying constraints to meet timing, power and reliability goals.
• Develop and maintain digital logic control blocks for peripherals such as memory interfaces, high speed I/O, and motor controllers.
• Integrate, configure and verify vendor supplied IP, ensuring proper licensing and version control.
• Migrate legacy FPGA code bases to newer device families, especially AMD Versal platforms, while preserving functionality and improving efficiency.
• Build and run UVM based test benches and other simulation environments to validate functional correctness and timing closure.
• Support hardware integration activities, including board level bring up, debugging and system level validation.
• Lead design assurance reviews, prepare verification reports and maintain traceability in Git Lab (or equivalent) repositories.
• Collaborate with systems, software, mechanical and test engineers to resolve cross disciplinary issues and meet program milestones.
• Mentor junior engineers and champion best practices for FPGA development, verification and configuration management.

We offer flexible work schedules and comprehensive benefits that invest in your future and security. You will have the flexibility necessary to inspire and focus while working hard and enjoying what you love.

This position is in Orlando, Florida. Must be a U.S. citizen. The selected candidate must be able to obtain a secret clearance. A company‑sponsored Interim Secret clearance is required to start.

• Bachelor of Science or higher from an accredited college in Electrical Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent experience/combined education.

• Experience in Hardware‑Software Integration and Validation.
• Familiarity with AMD FPGA tools (Vivado, Vitis, HLS).
• Experience with electronics design and troubleshooting activities.
• Experience integrating hardware and software.

• Experience with management of Configuration Control (Git Lab preferred).
• Experience with AMD/Xilinx chipsets (Versal, Ultrascale+).
• Experience with UVM.
• Experience with C/C++ programming.
• Experience with troubleshooting and debugging with board‑level testing and FPGA validation.
• Experience in ASIC/FPGA life cycle (architecture, design, simulation, verification, validation, integration & test).
• Expert programming Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) or Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD).
• Comfortable using digital oscilloscopes, power meters, and other test equipment.
• Experienced with High Level Synthesis (HLS) Vivado tools.
