  • Contribute to the development of new electronic product requirements through consulting with our customers and system engineers.
  • Perform trade studies and analyses to validate conceptual designs.
  • Perform circuit analysis and board level design including schematic capture and specifying printed circuit board design requirements (placement constraints, trace parameters, and routing layer constraints).
  • Develop firmware for FPGAs that work with electronics, sensors, electro-hydraulic actuators, electromechanical components, and communication links for actuation systems or avionics equipment.
  • Conduct prototype testing, integration testing, and design verification and validation testing
  • Document design, analysis, and verification results with accurate and concise reports
  • Perform FPGA verification following project plans and standards.
  • Provide formal technical presentations to internal and external customers to support program review and business development.
  • Specify and support design of lab test setups.

To be considered for this role, heres what youll need to bring with you:
  • Bachelors degree in electrical engineering
  • 10+ years of design and development engineering experience (Aerospace or Defense industry experience is desirable)
  • Digital design expertise including modern microprocessors / DSPs, high speed digital logic, FPGA, memory, analog-to-digital, digital-to-analog converters, and communication links.
  • Demonstrate detail knowledge of VHDL or Verilog coding and how to optimize for performance.
  • 3+ years of experience designing test benches and simulations using digital simulation tools (example Modelsim, Active-HDL) for verification of FPGA designs.
  • Analysis expertise including power dissipation, power use, timing, signal integrity, component derating, and Acceptance Test / Built-In Test coverage.
  • Knowledge of board design and layout including design tools

SKILLS AND CERTIFICATIONS
  • FPGA Design experience
  • Experience with VHDL or Verilog coding (VHDL preferred)
  • PCB design and layout experience
