FPGA Engineer
San Diego, CA - USA
Job Summary
As an FPGA Engineer you will play a key role in designing verifying and implementing complex digital hardware solutions for aerospace and defense applications including navigation timing and actuation systems. Your primary focus will be on developing reliable high-performance FPGA/ASIC designs that meet stringent safety quality and performance standards.
You will collaborate with system architects hardware engineers and verification teams to support the full development lifecycle from requirements definition and RTL design through verification integration and validation. This role is central to delivering robust safety-critical hardware solutions that enable advanced avionics and embedded systems.
Qualifications :
- Design and develop RTL modules using VHDL/Verilog for FPGA and ASIC targets based on system requirements
- Build and execute verification environments including testbenches and simulation models using SystemVerilog/UVM methodologies
- Develop scripts (Python Tcl Perl) to automate simulation testing and validation workflows
- Ensure compliance with DO-254 standards for safety-critical hardware development
- Utilize tools such as Xilinx Vivado/Vitis for synthesis implementation and debugging
- Work with industry-standard communication protocols such as PCIe ARINC 429 SPI and MIL-STD-1553
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams on system integration and hardware/software co-design
- Debug RTL issues and validate designs on laboratory hardware test benches
- Analyze code and functional coverage to ensure design robustness and completeness
- Document design processes verification results and technical specifications to support certification and continuous improvement
Additional Information :
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering or a related field
- 58 years of experience in FPGA/ASIC design and verification (level dependent)
- Strong proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog with experience in UVM/SystemVerilog for verification
- Hands-on experience with FPGA development tools such as Xilinx Vivado (Vitis is a plus)
- Familiarity with simulation tools such as QuestaSim ModelSim or VCS
- Solid understanding of digital design principles and hardware development workflows
- Experience working with communication protocols such as PCIe ARINC 429 SPI or MIL-STD-1553
- Knowledge of DO-254 level C or more critica Exposure to scripting languages (Python Tcl Perl) for automation and testing
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex hardware issues
- Effective communication and collaboration skills for working across multidisciplinary teams
- Experience in domains such as digital signal processing image processing or embedded systems (C/C embedded Linux) is a plus
