At RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company, 185,000 great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems. With our three market leading businesses, world-class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world.

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

As an FPGA Design Engineer II you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including:
Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces.

Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.

What You Will Do

• Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production

• Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

• Translate system level requirements into FPGA requirements

• Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability

• Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage

• Help drive projects and execute to program schedules on time and budget

• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user’s guides

• May lead small teams and mentor junior engineers

• May support internal and external technical reviews

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience

• Experience with VHDL and/or Verilog coding

• Experience with Xilinx or Microsemi devices and flow tools

Qualifications We Prefer

• FPGA/ASIC design experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Radar processing techniques

• Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors

• Embedded systems design using ARM, Microblaze, or Nios processors

• Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs)

• Constrained random verification in UVM using System Verilog

• Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce

What We Offer

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value:
  Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.

• Relocation Assistance!

• 9/80 Schedule
