Responsibilities for this Position
Our client has advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, AR/VR, Cloud Native and Quantum Physics to solve our customers’ missions in cyber, RF, undersea, interstellar and everything in between that focuses on software and hardware system integration, cutting-edge research and development, and manufacturing. They provide premium systems, services, and products for the DoD, government agencies and commercial clients. They are technology leaders in numerous areas including technology insertion; acoustic sensors; signal processing; combat systems; torpedoes; cyber security; knowledge management; and electronic warfare.
Our client’s team designs, develops, demonstrates, produces, assembles, tests and delivers torpedo SONAR arrays and electronic assemblies. The team works with the Navy, internal production staff and the representatives from other companies to advance torpedo performance and lower production costs.
This role requires ability to obtain or have a DOD Secret Security Clearance.
ROLE AND POSITION OBJECTIVES:
Be part of their team that is comprised of design, system engineering, and electrical engineering to develop embedded systems.
Duties include:
- Architect, design, and document FPGA firmware hierarchies, components, interfaces, and data flows
- Develop firmware in accordance with detailed designs descriptions
- Simulate and test firmware components in preparation for integration
- Define FPGA timing, pinout, and placement constraints
- Review synthesis and timing reports, address issues
- Integrate and test firmware on target hardware
- Identify necessary schematic updates and hardware reworks to support design
- Utilize FPGA tools and laboratory equipment for integration and debug
- Document failures, identify root causes, implement fixes, and verify changes
- Maintain configuration management documentation for the FPGA design
Keys Skills:
- Experience implementing FPGA firmware including custom VHDL components containing state machines, synchronous/asynchronous logic, processes, and external interfaces
- Understanding of the underlying FPGA fabric the firmware utilizes
- Experience working across cross-clock boundaries
- Familiarity with Xilinx (AMD) and/or Altera (Intel) compiler, programming, and debug tools
- Experience reviewing schematics, parts lists, and re-work documentation
- Methodical problem-solving skills
- Motivation to independently research and resolve issues
- Strong written and oral communication skills
What Sets You Apart:
- Familiarity with floor planning and timing optimizations
- Working knowledge of standard network protocols (e.g., IPv4, UDP, TCP/IP)
- Implementing custom digital signal processing filters
