Programmable Logic Engineer

This is a 100% onsite role located in Carlsbad, CA; Linthicum Heights, MD; or Marlborough, MA.

Overview:

In this role, you will help develop high-speed signal processing algorithms, cryptography, and/or network protocols implemented in FPGAs. You will be responsible for the full design lifecycle, starting from requirements definition through documentation, block diagrams, source code implementation, simulation, place & route, hardware testing, and system integration.

You will collaborate with engineers across multiple disciplines and must be comfortable working in both small and large team environments. Experience in high-performance FPGA designs, network encryptors, and cryptographic devices is a plus.

Responsibilities:

• Design FPGA module- and system-level architectures using Verilog and/or VHDL
• Develop simulations for modules and systems
• Synthesize Verilog and/or VHDL designs for FPGA targets
• Develop timing constraints, analyze timing results, and implement design changes to close timing
• Generate and collaborate on design documentation, development requirements, specifications, and verification protocols
• Work closely with hardware engineers to bring up boards and interpret datasheets and schematics
• Conduct code and design reviews and participate in cross-functional technical reviews
• Maintain and manage FPGA code revision history
• Own and drive technical issues through resolution
• Integrate and debug designs in the laboratory

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 8+ years of FPGA design experience
• Strong foundation in digital logic and timing analysis
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to work on geographically distributed teams
• High attention to detail and ability to follow development processes and coding standards
• Experience with programmable logic EDA tools such as AMD/Xilinx ISE or Vivado, Intel/Altera Quartus, Siemens/Mentor Graphics, Synopsys Synplify, and Microchip soft-core processors
• Proven track record designing and implementing FPGA modules using Verilog and/or VHDL, including simulation and testbench development
• Familiarity with reusable, maintainable, and scalable design practices
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and own tasks through completion
• US Citizenship required
• Active United States Secret Security Clearance required
• Ability to travel up to 10%
