FPGA Engineer 

Job Title

FPGA Engineer 111111111111111111111

Role Summary

Design and implement FPGA-based solutions for avionics and embedded hardware systems. Work across the full product lifecycle from requirements and RTL design through verification, synthesis, timing closure, hardware bring-up, and production release.

Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, and manufacturing teams within a regulated aerospace development environment.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Minimum: 2+ years of FPGA and/or ASIC development experience.

Responsibilities

Primary engineering responsibilities for FPGA development in avionics products:

• Design RTL using Verilog and/or VHDL for FPGA-based systems.
• Perform verification: simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, and timing closure.
• Execute hardware validation, board bring-up, and system-level troubleshooting.
• Integrate FPGA designs with board-level hardware and firmware/software components.
• Maintain technical documentation, traceability artifacts, and engineering deliverables required for regulated development.
• Participate in requirements definition, design reviews, and test planning through production release.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and constraints; candidates must meet export/work-authorization requirements.

• 2+ years practical FPGA and/or ASIC development experience.
• Proficient in Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Experience with FPGA toolchains and workflows: synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and closure.
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx FPGAs and Vivado toolset.
• Experience with simulation tools such as ModelSim or Questa.
• Strong analytical skills and board-level debugging experience.
• Familiarity with digital interfaces: SPI, I2C, JTAG, Ethernet, PCIe, and common video interfaces.
• Authorized to work in the United States without restrictions (required for project and export reasons).

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in avionics or other safety-critical / regulated systems.
• Exposure to DO-254 or similar structured development and certification processes.
• Experience with requirements-based development, verification processes, and configuration management.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
