Collins AerospaceJob Title
Senior FPGA Engineer, ASIC/FPGA — Mission Systems
Role Summary
Member of the Mission Systems engineering team in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico responsible for design, implementation, verification and integration of high-performance digital ASICs and FPGAs for signal processing and information assurance products.
Hybrid role that requires technical leadership on project design teams, hands-on RTL development, timing closure, verification and system integration.
Experience Level
Senior. The posting specifies degree/experience equivalencies (see Education Requirements) and expects demonstrated experience leading ASIC/FPGA design, verification, and integration activities.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include architecture, RTL design, verification and program support:
- Capture requirements and define ASIC/FPGA digital architecture.
- Implement RTL and perform timing analysis and timing closure.
- Develop and execute verification plans, including testbench development and chip-level verification.
- Integrate designs into system-level hardware and perform system verification.
- Recommend toolchain and process improvements for the ASIC/FPGA flow.
- Provide technical leadership, estimate engineering effort, plan tasks and report status for project teams.
Requirements
Core technical and program requirements. Degree details are in Education Requirements below.
- U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a security clearance.
- Professional English communication skills (verbal and written).
- RTL coding and simulation experience in VHDL or Verilog.
- Digital circuit architecture and design, including timing analysis and closure.
- Testbench development and RTL verification experience (SystemVerilog/VHDL).
- Experience with ASIC/FPGA simulation and synthesis tools (Modelsim, Synplify, Quartus, Vivado or similar).
- Chip-level verification techniques and familiarity with SystemVerilog.
- Understanding of Design for Test (DFT) and manufacturability considerations.
- Familiarity with Unix environments and scripting.
- Knowledge of revision control concepts and tools (e.g., Git, Subversion).
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with C/C++ or Perl for tooling and scripting.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in a STEM field OR equivalent practical experience (specified as 5 years) accepted; alternatively an advanced degree with 3 years of relevant experience. (Source lists degree-equivalency language.)
