Advanced FPGA & ASIC Engineer (RTL / Hardware Design)

Job Title

Advanced FPGA & ASIC Engineer (RTL / Hardware Design)

Role Summary

Contract engineer responsible for RTL design, FPGA and ASIC implementation, verification, and hardware validation for high-performance, mission-critical systems. Collaborate with hardware, software, and systems teams to deliver FPGA prototypes and silicon-ready designs.

Experience Level

Mid-level (experienced engineer). No specific years-of-experience guidance provided.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Design, develop, and verify FPGA and ASIC solutions.
• Define architecture and capture requirements.
• Perform RTL design and simulation using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Execute synthesis, place & route, and timing analysis.
• Support FPGA prototyping and hardware validation of ASIC designs.
• Support system integration, validation, and testing.
• Develop and execute simulation and test plans.
• Evaluate performance, power, and scalability tradeoffs.
• Collaborate across hardware, software, and systems engineering teams.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies and processes.

Requirements

Core requirements and skills. Candidates must meet the must-have items; preferred skills follow.

• Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible for a DoD Secret clearance.
• Must be local to the U.S. location or willing to relocate at personal expense; role is onsite.
• Hands-on experience in both FPGA and ASIC design across the full development lifecycle.
• Strong RTL design skills in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Experience with FPGA development and debugging.
• Familiarity with ASIC design flows: synthesis, timing analysis, validation.
• Experience with tools such as Vivado, QuestaSim, or equivalent.
• Solid understanding of digital design, timing analysis, and hardware optimization.
• Experience working in hardware-centric engineering environments.

Preferred / nice-to-have:

• ASIC tapeout or silicon validation experience.
• FPGA prototyping to support ASIC development.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces (SERDES, AXI, SPI, I2C).
• Background in defense, aerospace, or other high-reliability systems.
• Experience with VHDL and embedded systems.
• Demonstrated experience working in cross-functional engineering teams.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field is required; Master's degree preferred. Equivalent practical experience in FPGA/ASIC design is acceptable when demonstrable.
