Reston, VA (On-Site/Office)
FPGA Engineer *** Requires Active U.S. Secret security clearance
Location: Reston, Virginia, United States
Client will pay for relocation costs for those outside of the DC Metro area
About the Role
District Partners has been engaged to assist with the hiring of an experienced FPGA Engineer to develop and implement cutting-edge solutions for mission-critical applications. This role involves working with advanced technology to support national security efforts by designing, testing, and optimizing FPGA-based systems.
What You’ll Do
Rapidly develop, test, and implement FPGA designs using Xilinx SoC/FPGA.
Integrate third-party vendor IP as needed.
Perform digital circuit design, VHDL/Verilog coding, simulation (synthesis, timing), and verification.
Participate in the entire design life cycle—from concept and requirements gathering to hands-on testing and system deployment.
Implement various signal types, including high-speed communications (Ethernet, serial) and signal processing (analog, digital).
Ensure designs meet relevant safety and performance standards with traceability to top-level system requirements.
Troubleshoot and resolve bugs at both the HDL and system levels.
Required Qualifications
Active U.S. Secret security clearance.
5+ years of experience in FPGA/HDL hardware design (Xilinx SoC experience highly preferred).
Proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog.
Familiarity with design software such as Vivado (preferred), ModelSim, or Quartus.
Strong problem-solving and organizational skills.
Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Experience in SoC hardware bring-up, preferably on ARM-based systems.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with FPGA interfaces and high-speed buses.
Background in designing for safety-critical functions.
Knowledge of Systems on a Chip (SoC).
Low-level firmware (C/C++) development for bring-up and testing.
Salary Range
$140,000 - $205,000 USD
The salary range is an estimate based on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and skill set. Compensation packages may also include equity grants or other benefits.
