Hardware Design Engineer (FPGA)

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware Design Engineer (FPGA)

• Focus: FPGA development plus high-speed board-level digital hardware for advanced communications and space systems

Description

Develop high-performance digital electronics by combining FPGA development with high-speed board-level hardware design. Contribute across the full development lifecycle—from system architecture and circuit definition through RTL implementation, prototype integration, laboratory debugging, analysis, and environmental qualification.

Responsibilities

• Develop complex digital circuit boards incorporating FPGAs, processors/SoCs, memory, converters, and high-speed interfaces

• Create schematics and define design requirements and constraints for PCB implementation

• Design and verify RTL using SystemVerilog, Verilog, and/or VHDL

• Implement FPGA functionality for data processing, control logic, communications, and high-throughput interfaces

• Integrate FPGA firmware with custom hardware and support initial board power-up and system bring-up

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams throughout product development

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline

• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience involving FPGA development and/or advanced digital hardware

• Demonstrated experience developing synthesizable RTL with SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL

• Experience designing digital electronics using professional schematic capture and PCB design environments such as Cadence, Xpedition, Altium, or similar

• Understanding of high-speed digital interfaces, timing, signal integrity, and board-level design principles

• Strong hands-on laboratory skills, particularly integrating FPGA firmware with prototype hardware and troubleshooting system-level issues

Benefits

• Medical/dental/vision insurance

• HSA and FSA

• 401(k)

• Life, disability & ADD insurance

• Paid time off for salaried personnel

• Paid sick leave for eligible hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project
