Programmable Logic Design Engineer-REMOTE

Cognizant is a company focused on engineering industry-aligned, IoT-enabled products. They are seeking a Programmable Logic Design Engineer to produce and translate programmable logic requirements, develop test cases, and execute end-to-end FPGA development while ensuring quality and compliance with industry standards.

Responsibilities:

• Produce programmable logic requirements from system design requirements and specifications
• Translate programmable logic requirements into Simulink models
• Apply and configure platform library model elements to meet project-specific requirements
• Develop test cases and model test harnesses to verify model fulfillment of requirements
• Generate HDL using HDL Coder and perform co-simulation to verify HDL output against model
• Ensure successful optimization, synthesis, and place-and-route and subsequently validate equivalence
• Understand and verify correct tracing from requirements to design artifacts
• Execute end to end FPGA development with the rigor required of an ASME NQA-1 quality assurance program (or other industry equivalent)
• Perform engineering reviews to identify gaps in the design artifacts and/or their adherence to the planning documents and procedures
• Execute project deliverables within the estimated budgets and in accordance with schedule milestones
• Interface with project management and/or customers in providing status and addressing open issues
• Interface with system designers, hardware engineers, and verification and validation engineers in support of predecessor and successor design lifecycle activities
• Lead or support troubleshooting of complex FPGA design issues

Requirements:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related discipline
• Ten plus years of experience designing and developing design artifacts for FPGAs/ASICs from concept through production and factory testing
• Safety critical (or equiv. rigor) experience required
• Extensive experience with requirements-driven design, documentation, debugging, timing, reset strategies, performance testing, corner case analysis and meeting the rigors of safety critical design
• Strong knowledge of industry standard design tools and methodologies
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Excellent analytical and debugging skills
• Experience with MathWorks MATLAB, Simulink, StateFlow, and general model-based systems engineering (MBSE) practices
• Experience with Xilinx, Altera and Microsemi technologies and tools design flow
• Well versed in developing constraints and completing timing analysis
• advanced degree preferred
