FPGA/Embedded Hardware Design Engineer
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop FPGA architectures using VHDL-2019, VHDL-2008, VHDL, and basic Verilog as required.
- Design solutions targeting Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC devices; experience with Versal devices is a strong plus.
- Create self-checking simulation constructs and testbenches to validate functional and corner-case behavior.
- Script simulation, synthesis, and implementation workflows using Tcl and shell scripting to automate toolflows.
- Implement high-throughput streaming data paths, including FIFO structures, CDC mechanisms, circular buffers, clocking architectures, and timing constraints.
- Perform FPGA debug through HDL simulation, waveform analysis, hardware debugging, and logic analyzer tools.
- Develop and debug embedded software in C, C++, Python, and related languages to interface with FPGA logic.
- Contribute to DSP algorithm design when needed, depending on project requirements.
- Work with SDR platforms such as Ettus USRP, Epiq Matchstiq, and Pluto SDR to support system-level development.
- Apply knowledge of microcontroller firmware design for supporting embedded subsystems.
- Develop on Linux systems and write automation scripts using Bash.
- Use Xilinx Vivado and Vitis toolchains including Hardware Manager, IP Integrator, IP packaging, and XSim simulation.
- Simulate HDL using tools such as Aldec Riviera Pro and ModelSim for detailed design verification.
- Build customized embedded Linux distributions for MPSoC and Versal devices using Yocto.
- Set up and debug FlexLM license servers as part of maintaining development environments.
- Leverage AI/ML code assistants to enhance development efficiency when appropriate.
- Use Git for version control and collaborative software and FPGA development.
- Required Education:
- Bachelors and fourteen (14) years or more experience; Masters and twelve (12) years or more experience; PhD or JD and nine (9) years or more experience.
- Additional experience may be substituted for a degree
- Clearance Requirement:
- Must be a U.S. citizen with an active TS/SCI with Polygraph level clearance
