We deliver solutions that help our nation and allies defend freedom and deter aggression, creating a safer, more secure world. Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense.

Raytheon is seeking a Senior FPGA Design Engineer to provide direct execution support on an active program. This role focuses on RTL development, simulation, and implementation of FPGA-based designs, supporting delivery timelines and reducing program execution risk. You will work closely with electrical engineering and integration teams to support design, verification, and lab bring-up activities across multiple FPGA designs.

What You Will Do

• Develop and maintain FPGA designs using VHDL and Verilog.
• Create and execute simulation testbenches using Model Sim / Questa Sim.
• Support FPGA synthesis, implementation, and debug using standard tool flows.
• Develop and maintain TCL/Batch scripts for building automation and repeatable workflows.
• Perform functional verification through simulation and lab validation.
• Support troubleshooting in lab environments and during system integration.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (EE, ME, systems, test) to resolve issues.
• Follow and contribute to Git-based configuration management processes.
• Document design approaches, test results, and issues in a structured manner.
• Develop repeatable and automated FPGA build and simulation workflows.
• Participate in and contribute to timely code reviews.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience designing FPGA-based systems using VHDL and/or Verilog.

• Experience developing and executing simulation testbenches using Model Sim, Questa Sim, or equivalent tools.
• Experience applying digital design fundamentals including finite state machines (FSMs), clocking, resets, synchronous design, and clock domain crossing (CDC).
• Experience developing TCL scripts to automate FPGA build and simulation workflows.
• Experience debugging FPGA designs in simulation and lab environments.
• Experience using Git or equivalent version control systems.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Exposure to verification methodologies (System Verilog, structured test benches).
• Experience with Synplify synthesis tool.
• Experience working on multi-FPGA or complex board-level systems.
• Experience supporting integration and test activities in a lab environment.
• Exposure to MATLAB/Simulink, including HDL generation workflows and integration into FPGA toolchains.
• Experience instantiating vendor and third-party Ips.
• Familiarity with motor control systems.
• Exposure to JIRA or similar issue tracking methodologies.

What We Offer

• A total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs. Some of the benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance and child/adult backup care.
