ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer

Job Title

ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer

Role Summary

Responsible for end-to-end FPGA and ASIC design for Advanced Programs in Orlando, FL. Work with cross-functional teams to define architecture, implement HDL, verify functionality and timing, and deliver production-ready hardware designs.

Focus areas include specification and architecture, verification and validation, power/thermal analysis, and producing complete design packages for release and design-assurance review.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

The role's core responsibilities include:

• Develop detailed FPGA/ASIC specifications and high-level architecture using VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog.
• Perform functional and timing verification; create testbenches and simulation plans.
• Conduct trade-off studies to select FPGA families or ASIC processes considering utilization, power, thermal, cost, and schedule.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, and systems teams to define interface requirements and integration strategies.
• Perform power and thermal budget analyses and maintain models and dashboards to meet mission-critical limits.
• Create and maintain complete design data packages for Design Assurance reviews and design release.
• Provide technical input to system-level architecture and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and tools:

• HDL programming experience (VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog) and experience with FPGA simulation tools.
• Experience with version control systems (for example, Git).
• Experience with multiple FPGA vendors (Altera/Intel, Microchip/Microsemi, Xilinx) or ASIC design flows.
• Proficiency in software languages commonly used for embedded and verification tasks (C, C++, Python).
• Experience debugging and troubleshooting complex digital systems and verification environments.
• Familiarity with UVM and UVM-based verification methodologies.
• Familiarity with the Design Assurance process.

Nice-to-have: prior experience on advanced or mission-critical hardware programs; specific vendor toolchain or ASIC process experience.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience. The posting explicitly allows equivalent experience in lieu of a degree.
