Description:

You will be the FPGA Lead – Programmable Logic Designer for Program Strix Indigo. Our team is modernizing a scene generation system to evaluate RF and advanced sensor capabilities, delivering incremental upgrades that expand test fidelity and mission relevance.

What You Will Be Doing

As the FPGA Lead you will own the end to end development of a sophisticated FPGA based architecture that powers the upgraded scene generation platform. You’ll work hand in hand with software, hardware, and systems engineers to translate system needs into a clean, scalable FPGA solution. Your responsibilities will include:

• Defining, designing, verifying, and implementing the FPGA architecture using VHDL and/or Verilog.
• Conducting trade studies to select the optimal FPGA device, balancing logic utilization, power consumption, and thermal performance.
• Creating detailed FPGA requirements and interface control documents that guide cross functional development.
• Leveraging AMD Vivado and Altera Quartus toolchains for synthesis, place and route, and timing closure.
• Applying Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) or equivalent frameworks to build robust testbenches and achieve high coverage verification.
• Providing technical leadership, mentorship, and code review guidance to junior engineers and interns.
• Driving the Design Architecture Development process, ensuring milestones are met and risks are mitigated.
• Collaborating with stakeholders to integrate FPGA outputs with the larger scene generation system, validating performance against RF and sensor test objectives.
