Overview Continental Electronics Corporation is a leading provider of RF technologies and innovative solutions with 80 years of proven performance. CEC has experienced significant recent growth and has established itself as the go-to supplier for a diversified product line supporting a wide spectrum of markets from commercial products, military customers, to space research laboratories. The Sr. FPGA Engineer will design, test, and integrate complex FPGA-based digital signal processing and control algorithms for state-of-the-art RF transmitter systems. This individual will work closely with hardware & software engineers throughout program development and system installation. Responsibilities Define and document functional requirements Design, simulate and implement FPGA-based digital signal processing, e.g. baseband signal processing Design FPGA-based circuit card assemblies using schematic capture Develop hardware prototypes, debug and test using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, logic analyzers, etc Define and coordinate software tasks related to hardware-software interfaces within FPGA-based circuit card assemblies Uphold the company’s core values of Integrity, Innovation, Accountability, and Teamwork Demonstrate behavior consistent with the company’s Code of Ethics and Conduct It is the responsibility of every employee to report to their manager or a member of senior management any quality problems or defects in order for corrective action to be implemented and to avoid recurrence of the problem Duties may be modified or assigned at any time to meet the needs of the business Qualifications BS or MS in Electrical Engineering with 8 or more years of relevant experience Ability to obtain DoD issued secret clearance Some occasional travel will be required Skilled at translating system level requirements to FPGA solution space Proficiency with Xilinx FPGA design flows using both ISE and Vivado - VHDL design entry is essential. Detailed experience with full FPGA design process, including simulation, synthesis, implementation, and timing closure Recent experience with Xilinx 7 series devices Expertise in the following areas of FPGA-based real-time DSP implementation: decimation / interpolation filters, fractional delay filters, asynchronous sample rate conversion, NCO, Hilbert transforms, FFT and waveform generation. Experience with FPGA hardware interfaces related to RF sampling and waveform generation using A/D and D/A converters Experience using version control tools to manage states of files and collaboratively develop them with teammates Experience designing re‑usable circuits that can be utilized across multiple projects Design and implement test fixtures including test plans for both chip level and board level environments FPGA-based high-speed memory and bus interfaces, i.e. PCIe, DDR3 Strong understanding of software and hardware interaction i.e. Linux host / PCIe endpoint Understanding of digital signal processing hardware architectures, and preferably FMC module interfacing to FPGA-based carrier card assemblies Familiarity with high-speed PCB board layout Excellent verbal and written skills to interact with project teams, management and customers Desired Qualifications Eight (8) years of experience with RF system design, specifically high power and/or high-speed, time-based communication transmissions MATLAB / Simulink modeling of signal processing systems, at a minimum able to understand a high-level model and convert to an FPGA implementation High level programming (C), and ability to write simple software applications for FPGA test purposes in Linux environment Practical understanding of time synchronization standards (e.g. IEEE-1588) Benefits The pay range above represents annual base salary only. Final compensation will be determined based on factors such as your job level, geographic location, date of hire, experience, job‑related knowledge and skills, and education in conjunction with market and business considerations. Pay may range from $150,000 to $163,000 annually. Base salary is one component of your total rewards package.
