This Principal level position is primarily an FPGA firmware design and verification position with emphasis on video display and camera systems.

This position requires a background in complex FPGA firmware design. Experience with video FPGA firmware design or image processing algorithms is preferred. Design and verification in a process-controlled environment similar to DO-254 is a plus.

This position requires responsibility for all aspects of the design and verification beginning with requirements definition through the certification of the product. Project activities include schedule preparation and reporting of status on tasks as well as interaction with team members from other disciplines.

Relocation Assistance is available.

Primary Responsibilities:
• Design FPGA firmware for commercial and military applications
• Define and capture requirements for new firmware designs using enterprise tools such as Jama
• Create conceptual designs which include block level architecture, clock and reset distribution strategies, and bandwidth/latency analyses
• Create detailed designs of the FPGA firmware at the register-transfer level with VHDL
• Perform RTL synthesis and implementation using FPGA tools such as Vivado
• Support board level integration of the FPGA firmware
• Present FPGA firmware design to certification authority
• Lead, oversee efforts, and train less experienced designers
• Lead FPGA design and verification teams
Qualifications/Experience Needed:
• U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee or asylee) or eligible to obtain necessary export authorizations required.https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-M/part-120/subpart-C/section-120.62
