Job Description

FPGA Design Engineer

Reports To: Product Design Lead

EBAD is seeking a skilled and motivated FPGA Design Engineer to join our Product Design team. This role is responsible for the full lifecycle of FPGA-based solutions—from concept and architecture through implementation, verification, and integration. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in FPGA design and a passion for solving complex engineering challenges in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities:

The FPGA Design Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and implementation of FPGA-based solutions, overseeing all technical design aspects from concept through development and verification. Primary duties include:

+ Development and maintenance of FPGA designs, including simulation models, and documentation.

+ Performing design trade studies to evaluate FPGA resource utilization, performance, and power efficiency.

+ Optimizing synthesis and place-and-route to meet resource and timing constraints.

+ Verifying functional and timing requirements using simulation tools such as ModelSim.

+ Conducting risk reduction testing and validation on hardware implementations using standard lab equipment (e.g., logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).

+ Working with customers to define requirements, interfaces, and functional specifications.

+ Deriving, allocating, and flowing down system requirements to FPGA requirements.

+ Reviewing FPGA implementations for technical compliance and functional safety.

+ Coordinating with project teams to successfully integrate FPGAs into target systems.

Requirements:

+ Must have or be able to obtain a DoD security clearance

+ BS/MS in Electrical Engineering , Computer Engineering, or related field

+ Minimum 3 years of experience in FPGA design and development

+ Experience with FPGA design tools such as Libero, Vivado, Quartus, Diamond, or similar.

+ Knowledge of FPGA architectures (e.g., Microchip, Xilinx, Altera/Intel, Lattice).

+ Ability to perform synthesis, timing analysis, and optimization for FPGA designs.

+ Experience with risk analysis techniques, such as FMECA and fault tree analysis, applied to FPGA designs.

+ Demonstrated competency in problem-solving and root cause analysis.

+ Proficiency with diagnostic tools such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal generators for FPGA debugging and validation.

+ Strong written and verbal communication skills.

+ Ability to work effectively in a team environment.

Preferred Skills:

+ Experience in Verification and Validating derived Requirements in FPGA Design

+ Experience with tools such as Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.

+ Knowledge of relevant standards (e.g., DOD, SAE, IEEE, and IPC).

+ Experience in analog, digital, or mixed signal designs.

+ Familiarity with RCC-319 and/or JOTP-51 safety standards

+ Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, TCL)

+ Familiarity with tools such as MATLAB , LabVIEW, and SPICE (e.g. Multisim, PSpice, LTspice).

+ Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including MS Project.
