The Senior FPGA Engineer is responsible for the architecture, design and development of digital signal processing applications utilizing Xilinx devices to be deployed on CACI designed tactical SIGINT/EW solutions. Designs include signal processing algorithms to support radio frequency (RF) software defined radio functionality, Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) applications, data communication with peripheral devices, and other capabilities as required. They will work closely with other hardware and software teams to define system specifications and architectures, to document detailed designs, and to implement, troubleshoot, and verify designs.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Work within a team of scientists and engineers to architect and implement FPGA solutions for wideband RF signal collection and processing systems.
• Design and Implement FGPA algorithms and techniques for signal detection, processing, and engagement in current generation FPGA devices.

You’ll Bring These Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent, with 5+ years of related experience
• Recent experience with design and implementation of software defined radio capabilities for FPGAs (e.g., Peak Detectors, Digital Filters, Modulation, Demodulation, CORDIC, FFT).
• Experience with Xilinx Ultrascale and/or Versal FPGA families within an RFSOC architecture.
• Experience with VHDL design entry, constraint, simulation, and synthesis tools using Xilinx Vivado.
• Experience debugging FPGA-based systems using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, etc…
• Experience with RF transceiver design, in a multitude of frequency ranges.
• Active Top Secret clearance (US citizenship required) able to obtain SCI.

These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have:

• Experience with interfacing FPGAs to ARM processors/microcontrollers.
• Experience with C/C++ in either software or embedded firmware environments.
• Experience with Embedded Linux on Single Board Computer (SBC) environments or PetaLinux on Xilinx platforms.
• Experience with MATLAB, particularly with the HDL Coder or Embedded Coder product lines.
• Experience with Altera FPGAs and their respective toolchains (Quartus, Signal Tap, etc…)
