Elite Technical Services, Inc
FPGA/Firmware Engineer (Rhode Island)
**Senior FPGA Engineer - Torpedo Systems Group** Join a leading defense contractor's Torpedo Systems Group and take ownership of FPGA development that directly supports critical national security programs. This is a high-visibility role where your designs move from the lab to real-world deployment, and where you will serve as a trusted technical voice for both your engineering team and the government customer. If you want your work to matter, and you want a front-row seat to advanced systems development, this role delivers both. Why This Role * High impact: Your FPGA designs support mission-critical torpedo systems used in active defense programs.* Visibility and trust: Act as the onsite frontline engineering representative for government customers, giving you direct exposure to program leadership and decision-makers.
* Full lifecycle ownership: Take a design from architecture through verification, delivery, and field troubleshooting, not just one slice of the process.
* Growth path: Shape organizational FPGA processes and standards, positioning yourself as a technical leader within the group. What You Will Do * Drive design, verification, and documentation for FPGA developments from concept to completion
* Contribute to system architecture, simulation, and detailed design decisions
* Define module interfaces and lead key aspects of device design and simulation
* Evaluate the full process flow: high level design, synthesis, place and route, timing, and power utilization
* Verify test results and analyze system performance
* Present requirements, designs, and results to management, engineering teams, and customers
* Help shape and improve FPGA development processes across the organization
* Apply engineering standards, procedures, and tools throughout the full development life cycle
* Support onsite installation, troubleshooting, and corrective actions when new products are delivered to the customer What Makes You a Fit * Strong background in FPGA design, verification, and system architecture
* Comfort working across the full development life cycle, from concept through fielded support
* Clear communicator who can translate technical work for varied audiences
* Interest in taking on customer-facing responsibility and representing engineering solutions with confidence
This is an opportunity to grow your technical expertise while playing a direct role in national defense capability. If you are ready to take the next step in your FPGA engineering career, we want to hear from you.
