Senior FPGA Engineer - Simulink (Remote)

Job Title

Senior FPGA Engineer - Simulink (Remote)

Role Summary

The Senior FPGA Engineer will design and deliver embedded processing solutions for communications and networking, translating algorithms from MATLAB/Simulink into FPGA firmware and integrating with system software and hardware. The role focuses on implementation, verification, integration, and sustainment for low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs.

The role also establishes HDL firmware lifecycle practices and develops microprocessor ICDs for message and data handling between FPGA and system software.

Experience Level

Senior - typically requires 6+ years designing and verifying FPGA-based systems.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (RF, DSP, Firmware, FPGA, Software, Test) to deliver embedded processing solutions for communications and networking.
• Translate algorithms from MATLAB/Simulink into FPGA implementations and optimize the implementation lifecycle from requirements through sustainment.
• Architect, design, develop, simulate, verify and test HDL firmware for FPGAs, SoCs and SoMs.
• Establish and optimize HDL firmware lifecycle workflows and best practices across architecture, design, simulation, verification, and system testing.
• Develop microprocessor ICDs and message/data handling interfaces between FPGA and system software.
• Support integration, system testing, debugging, and sustainment of FPGA-based products.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 6+ years experience designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA systems using VHDL or Verilog.
• Experience using code generators to convert MATLAB/Simulink algorithms into FPGA designs.
• Proficient in C and C++ and experienced with RTOS-based development.
• Familiarity with common MCU/CPU/FPGA devices and standard interfaces (Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB).
• Proficiency with EE test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators) and PCBA testing.
• Experience with wireless communications systems and computer networking.
• Experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex communications board designs.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with flight software architectures, high-reliability aerospace design, and aircraft systems redundancy.
• Knowledge of DO-254, DO-178C, DO-160, DO-311A, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461.
• Experience with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Code-GPT).
• Experience implementing enhanced security measures.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
