Lead, Digital Hardware Engineer

Role Overview

• Develop digital circuits for data acquisition and telemetry products.
• Responsibilities will include generation of specifications, component selection, high-speed digital circuit design, FPGA coding, simulation, and analyses, support of PWB layout, and integration & verification testing.
• Generate design concepts and architectures to satisfy performance requirements
• Design sub-systems and modules, with emphasis on digital circuits and FPGA code, coordinating integration with Analog, RF, Software, and Mechanical Engineering disciplines
• Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA specifications.
• Architect solutions targeting FPGAs against requirements and implement those solutions on FPGA platforms.
• Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities
• Review product specifications, and generate system and module-level block diagrams, flow diagrams, and design concepts
• Refine and enforce consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
• Lead teams of engineers generating the FPGA design solutions.
• Ensure the FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
• Lead the full life cycle development and integration of VHDL into different families of FPGAs.
• Experience coding in VHDL and modeling algorithms, simulating, and integrating multiple FPGA-based modules
• Lead the bench-level system integration with hardware, software, and other FPGA designs
• Support proposal efforts and early stages of the program to define detailed system requirements
• Support the planning and execution of project plans, design reviews and production release of modified or new product documentation
• Support qualification and production test in the event of test failures
• Support customer with use and troubleshooting of fielded products
• Provide mentoring to younger engineers
• Ability to obtain a Security Clearance.
