Share Email Opening Title FPGA Design Engineer  Category Engineering   Description The Sensors Division focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging and EO/IR sensing. Within this role, we perform work at full system prototypes, experiment campaigns and technology component development. Particular development roles within the Sensors Division include RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, tracking/fusion, as well as real-time embedded processor implementation. STR is hiring a Lead FPGA Design Engineer to implement complex system algorithms and interfaces in FPGAs for Radar and EW systems. Applicable projects span all levels of maturity from initial concept generation through design, prototype, development, test, and transition to production. The Lead FPGA Design Engineer will be responsible for leading architecture development and implementation of complex FPGA designs. They will interact with system engineers to drive requirements, develop FPGA architectures, make system trade decisions, implement, test, and verify designs through simulation and lab test. These FPGA designs could include signal processing across very wide bands, high data rate interfaces, serial interfaces and complex control logic. Detailed design documentation and test plans will be created and maintained by the Design Engineer. Additional duties include leading and participating in small multi-disciplinary teams, working together on a variety of challenging tasks. Responsibilities Include: Lead the architecture development and implementations of complex high data rate and wideband, parallel signal processing designs Lead team of junior FPGA designers including technical development and mentoring Map system-level requirements and objectives to FPGA specifications Validate designs with simulation and verification techniques before hardware integration Participate in FPGA development process improvement Full life cycle of development and integration of FPGA into hardware system   Position Requirements Required Qualifications: U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a Security Clearance BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with at least 7 years of experience Experience with FPGA and SoC design entry using Verilog or VHDL (Verilog preferred) Experience with design flow for Xilinx or Altera FPGAs Experience with simulation tools such as ModelSim/Questa, VCS, or Incisive Desired Qualifications: Active Security Clearance at the Secret or Top Secret (TS) level Proficient with Xilinx or Altera SoC platforms Proficient with FPGA or ASIC RTL design entry Strong background and experience with industry best practices and version control Proficient with high-speed memory and interfaces (DDR4, PCIe, Ethernet) Proficient with complex timing closure Experience with Matlab, Python, or C/C++ Experience with interfacing to high speed DACs and ADCs Experience with Digital Signal Processing Understanding of RF Systems, specifically Radar or EW   About the Organization Systems & Technology Research (STR) is a rapidly growing technology company with locations north of Boston, MA, Arlington, VA and near Dayton, OH.
