FPGA Development Engineer

I’m looking for a leading defense company an experienced FPGA development Engineer to join a team developing advanced, complex avionics systems.

About the Role

The position involves developing sophisticated FPGA logic designs for advanced avionics systems, working in a multidisciplinary environment with multiple processors, high-speed interfaces, and diverse technologies, while meeting demanding performance and computational requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop complex FPGA components, including embedded processors and high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, SERDES, and JESD204.
• Define FPGA architectures, prepare design documentation, and implement and integrate FPGA modules.
• Perform end-to-end FPGA development and system integration.
• Conduct post-production ramp-up and hardware debugging in the lab.
• Support software integration and system-level testing.
• Develop test benches and perform complex VHDL simulations.
• Debug hardware using JTAG tools and scripts, and work with laboratory test equipment.
• Utilize MATLAB and Python for simulations and testing, as required.

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering – mandatory.
• 5–7 years of experience in complex projects involving large FPGA components – mandatory.
• End-to-end FPGA development experience, including integration into the final system – mandatory.
• Experience with complex VHDL simulations – mandatory.
• Hands-on lab debugging experience using JTAG tools, including script development – mandatory.
• Experience with laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and RF signal generators – mandatory.
• Experience implementing signal processing algorithms – an advantage.
• Experience with MATLAB – an advantage.
