    Primary Responsibilities

    Senior Software Engineer - FPGA/Firmware design engineer’s primary job functions include designing, implementing, and testing firmware solutions targeting unique high-speed FPGAs and their supporting circuitry.

     

    Rate: ( _$90 - $110 / hr. W2_ )

    Responsibilities:

    FPGA/Firmware Software Engineers are:

    • Familiarity with modern Xilinx FPGA families and design tools (7-series FPGAs, Ultrascale+, Vivado, Xilinx IP cores).

    • Experience working with SoC designs such as Zynq and Zynq Ultrascale+, including architecting and interfacing with peripherals, interrupts, and related bus architectures.

    • Experience developing and implementing FPGA-optimized versions of DSP algorithms (e.g., modulation/demodulation, PLLs, filters, image processing).

    • Experience with standard internal interfaces such as AXI4, AXI4-Stream, and AXI4-Lite.

    • Experience working with embedded operating systems (i.e., RTOS such as Green Hills).

    • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary design team (electrical engineers, systems engineers, and scientists) to implement and integrate FPGA designs and sensor systems.

    • Analyze, design, simulate, and implement algorithms in hardware descriptor languages, HDL (VHDL, Verilog), based on MATLAB model(s).

    • Analyze, design, and implement HDL test benches in hardware description languages, HDL (VHDL, Verilog), for code validation and validation against models.

    • Analyze schematic diagrams for either custom or commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) electronic hardware involving high-speed digital and/or analog circuitry in associated FPGA-centric systems.

    • Conduct experimental tests on latest FPGA and SoC evaluation boards, evaluate results, and then develop specifications for selecting next-generation components for deliverable systems.

    • Work on problems of diverse scope, determining methods and procedures to be used on new assignments, and providing feedback and recommendations to other technical personnel.

    • Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and field testing.

    • Develop and maintain requirements documents, functional specification documents, interface control documents, etc.

    We’re looking for FPGA/Firmware Software Engineers possessing the basic FPGA foundations such as:

    • 10-12 years of relevant work experience.

    • Experience with, and understanding of, FPGA system design and test.

    • Experience with embedded Software/Firmware design.

    • Experience with C/C++, MATLAB.

    • Understanding of multiple high-speed serial communication standards and interfaces (e.g. Aurora, 10Ge, PCIe, DDR4/3/2/1, JESD204B)

    • Experienced with version control systems including SVN and Git.

    • Hands-on laboratory experience with instrumentation, test equipment, and debug/test methods.

    • Candidate must be a US Citizen and possess (and be able to maintain) a Final DoD Secret Clearance.

    Education Requirements:

    • A Bachelor's (BS) degree in Engineering discipline.

    • A Masters (MS) degree in Engineering discipline.
