Senior FPGA Engineer

Job Title

Senior FPGA Engineer

Role Summary

Hands-on Senior FPGA Engineer in the GDP division designing and delivering FPGA/DSP hardware for RF telemetry receivers used in flight test, missile test, range safety, and space applications.

Work spans MATLAB DSP modeling, VHDL FPGA implementation, board bring-up, lab testing and system integration on mission-critical aerospace hardware. This is a hardware-focused role requiring regular lab and bench work.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 5+ years of DSP-based product development and FPGA design experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver and verify FPGA/DSP features for RF telemetry receivers; support hardware integration and field test activities.

• Design, implement, debug, and verify FPGA/DSP signal processing for telemetry RF receivers.
• Develop VHDL-based FPGA designs with simulation and verification flows.
• Translate MATLAB DSP models into FPGA implementations and validate performance.
• Support board-level development, PCB oversight, lab bring-up, and hardware debugging.
• Integrate embedded CPU and FPGA components and support firmware interactions.
• Produce requirements, test plans, design reviews, and maintain Jira issue tracking.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for system integration and customer-facing activities.
• Provide field-test and lab support for deployment and troubleshooting.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; nice-to-have items noted separately.

• 5+ years in DSP-based product development.
• Hands-on FPGA design experience using VHDL, including simulation and verification.
• RF receiver signal processing experience and familiarity with telemetry systems.
• Knowledge of modulation schemes such as PCM/FM and SOQPSK.
• FEC techniques experience (LDPC, Viterbi).
• Practical MATLAB experience for DSP modeling and verification.
• Lab experience with RF and test equipment for board bring-up and debugging.
• Must be a U.S. person due to ITAR/EAR export-control requirements.
• Nice-to-have: Embedded C/C++ experience.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
