Standard Job DescriptionDevelops, designs, verifies, and documents Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) development. Determines architecture design, logic design, and system simulation. Assignments include the analysis of all aspects from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, and timing and power utilization. Typically uses specialized equipment to establish operation data, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results.
The WorkAs an FPGA Engineer you will;
• Perform complex FPGA firmware architecture and/or custom digital board designs.
• Design digital signal processing, messaging, control, and high-speed communications.
• Interface and collaborate with program leadership and teammates on a regular basis.
• Estimate, break down and plan work for their firmware team.
• Take a high DSP algorithm for a radar system and break it into small pieces and coach junior engineers.
Who You AreYou understand how the many different pieces of a system work together. Our products involve hundreds of people, processes, and systems, and you'll help determine the ones that are relevant to your analysis and how they fit together.
