FPGA / ASIC Design Engineer position in Reston VA.

US Citizenship is required for this position

Active / Current Secret Security Clearance IS REQUIRED to apply for this position

1^st Shift 8:00 AM start time with every other Friday off (9/80 work schedule)

Work will be onsite

Job Description:

Reporting to the Manager Engineering (ASIC/FPGA) the Design Engineer will be part of the key ASIC/FPGA design team responsible for the delivery of FPGA/ASICs for high-speed crypto applications.

S/he will architect implement high speed crypto architectures on ASICs/Xilinx Zynq/MPSOC class FPGAs with hands on design/debug with Ethernet TCP/IP protocols.

L3Harris has state-of-the-art EDA flows/methodologies including Synopsys DC/Primetime/Synplify Xilinx/Intel/Microchip EDA with HLS Mentor EDA Family suite : Questa VIPs UVM framework Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) Questa Lint and Catapult (HLS).

This is a key high impact role in the organization to ensure robust quality and delivery of communication products for National Security.

Skills/Experience:

Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent degree and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience (or Masters Degree plus 2 years of prior relevant experience) developing implementing and verification of high-performance communications/networking ASIC/FPGA products.

Possess an active SECRET Clearance

Experience mapping algorithms and standards (Ethernet TCP/IP AXI) to hardware and architecture/system design tradeoffs.

Proficient in VHDL design process and FPGA flow

Knowledge of Ethernet TCP/IP protocols

Strong logic/board debug and analytical skills.

Excellent written verbal and presentation skills.

A PLUS for prior experience with:

High Level Synthesis (HLS) with Vivado

Embedded SW C (OOP) and System Verilog Assertions (SVA)

Knowledge of high-speed protocols (PCIe TCP/IP Ethernet)

VHDL Experience is required for all candidates to be considered.

1. Looking for mid-senior level folks

2. Proficient in VHDL >5 yrs Xilinx FPGA design EDA- Vivado

3. Must have done hands on multiple complex designs arch/design/verification/Synthesis/STA

4. Big Plus

a. Working with Ethernet protocol (not just instantiating the IP) Is a big plus.

b. Mentor EDA CDC/Lint/AC/RDC

Required Skills:

Derive engineering specifications from system requirements and develop detailed architecture

Execute design (RTL AND/OR HLS (C to RTL)) and RTL quality (RDC CDC Formal Lint)

Generate test plans

Perform module level verification synthesis/STA Lab debug SW driven validation on Linux based SOC evaluation boards

Silicon/FPGA bring up characterization and production ramp/support/collateral

Desired Skills: (Not Required)

Prior experience in Aerospace / Defense

Experience in C (OOP)

Experience in Xilinx MPSOC design with writing/debugging with SDKs BSPs on bare metal/PetaLinux OS.

Experience with High level synthesis (Xilinx Vivado HLS AND/OR Mentor Calypto).

Experience with Universal Verification Mythology (UVM)

Experience with project leadership and EVM

Degree Requirements:

Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent degree and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience (or Masters Degree plus 2 years of prior relevant experience) developing implementing and verification of high-performance communications/networking ASIC/FPGA products.

Pre-Screen Questions

Must haves for all candidates:

4-6 years of minimum experience VHDL experience

Extensive FPGA design going through design and verification process

Ethernet framing and protocol experience in FPGA
