FPGA Developer

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big-picture thinking to make an impact on national defense? You understand your client's environment and how to develop the right systems for their mission. Your ability to translate real-world needs into technical specifications makes you an integral part of delivering a client-focused engineering solution.

As a leader in electrical engineering and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design, we’re looking for you to solve complex technical challenges. Your client will trust you to not only to help test, design, and develop specific algorithms in FPGAs, but also evolve them with advanced technology solutions. You’ll share your skills with a hardware team focused on digital design and algorithm testing with FPGAs while broadening your skillset into areas supporting radio frequency (RF) modeling and simulation. You will work alongside RF or radar modeling and simulation engineers and compare model outputs with corresponding hardware implementations to provide validation of threat representations. Join our team and create the future of EMSO in evolving national security objectives.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
