ABOUT THE TEAM

The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. The team is heavily involved in utilizing computer vision, perception, electro-optical, infrared, and sensor data to give our war fighters and allies an advantage.
ABOUT THE JOB

The Imaging team is seeking a Firmware Engineer to help design a new product lines. In this role, you will work closely with an interdisciplinary technical team to define, complete the design and analysis, build prototypes leading to ground and flight testing, and mature the prototypes into products.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• FPGA architecture, standards, development and review processes
• FPGA Development: Designing, architecting, simulating, and integrating VHDL designs into FPGAs or Systems on Chip (SoC) for optimized performance, resource utilization, and power efficiency.
• Hardware/Software Integration: Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams (electrical engineers, software engineers, systems engineers) to ensure seamless integration of the firmware with the overall system, including processor bring-up and board support packages.
• Testing and Validation: Developing robust test benches in VHDL/Verilog and utilizing lab tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for rigorous testing and validation of designs against functional specifications and performance requirements.
• Optimization: Optimizing the algorithms for hardware acceleration, including MIPS optimization and efficient use of on-chip bus protocols like AXI or AXI-Stream.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Education: A Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field is typically required.
• Experience: 2+ years of experience developing HDL firmware for FPGA devices
• Hardware Description Languages: Expertise in VHDL and/or Verilog/SystemVerilog is essential for RTL (Register Transfer Level) design.
• FPGA Tools: Experience with industry-standard FPGA design tools such as Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus.
• Debugging Skills: Strong hardware/software debugging skills using standard lab equipment.
• Version Control: Proficiency with version control systems (e.g., Git) for collaborative development.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Demonstrated experience designing with multi-gigabit SERDES, DDR memory busses, Ethernet MAC and PHY interfaces, FPGAs, and common communication busses like SPI and I2C
• Embedded software development experience with the use of timers, interrupts, hardware peripherals such as SPI controllers and ADCs
• Knowledge of embedded Linux development, including device trees, hardware drivers, bootloaders, and basic Unix/Linux tools
• Familiar with common programming languages like Python and MATLAB
• Familiarity with infrared image sensor technology
