Senior FPGA Engineer

Job Title

Senior FPGA Engineer

Role Summary

Lead FPGA design, simulation, integration and debugging for electro-optical systems used in defense applications. Work on a multidisciplinary engineering team providing technical leadership throughout development, system integration, and manufacturing support.

Experience Level

Senior — requires approximately 10+ years of relevant engineering experience; proven leadership on FPGA projects.

Responsibilities

Deliver FPGA hardware/firmware from architecture through production and support.

• Lead FPGA design, RTL development (VHDL/Verilog), synthesis and timing closure.
• Develop and run testbenches, simulation flows, and verification for FPGA designs.
• Integrate FPGAs with sensors, video interfaces (MIPI, LVDS, camera/display interfaces), high-speed links and host systems.
• Troubleshoot integration and field failures to root cause; implement fixes and mitigations.
• Support system integration, manufacturing transitions, and customer program reviews.
• Produce technical documentation for fabrication, assembly, and vendor communications.

Requirements

Required technical skills and work conditions.

• Extensive FPGA/SoC experience with Xilinx, Lattice, or Microchip devices.
• Strong RTL design skills in VHDL and/or Verilog; experience with RTL synthesis and constraints.
• Experience with simulation and verification tools (Modelsim/Questa, Aldec, VCS) and synthesis tools (Vivado, Synplify, XST).
• Familiarity with FPGA place & route, timing/size closure and high-speed interfaces (SERDES, DDR, MIPI, LVDS).
• Experience with pipelined FPGA video processing and camera/sensor interfaces.
• Hands-on system integration, debug, and test; basic soldering and test equipment use.
• Familiarity with PCB schematic capture (Orcad) and working knowledge of PCB/layout considerations is a plus.
• Ability to work on site in Manchester, NH and travel occasionally to customer locations.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office and able to interact with customers and suppliers.
• Must be a U.S. person (ITAR requirement).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering is required. The role expects 10+ years of relevant work experience. Equivalent practical experience was not specified as an alternative.
