FPGA Electrical Engineer I

About the Role

The Effector Guidance Electronics (EGE) department develops electronics for weapon system products, engaging from the outset of weapon system development through deployment. Products are deployed globally across various environments. The department is responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing.

What You Will Do

• Develop FPGA designs for AMD, Altera, and Microchip devices.
• Support applications including gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces.
• Collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architecture, algorithm modeling, partitioning, code development, simulation, and place and route.
• Verify designs against requirements using directed tests and constrained random methodologies.
• Provide design support from requirements definition through production release.
• Perform design documentation and configuration management.

Requirements & Tech Stack

You Must Have

• Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering or Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) or related degree.
• Experience or Coursework in Digital Design and HDL coding targeting configurable logic devices.
