Principal Electrical Engineer-FPGA Design- Onsite Tucson, AZ

Principal Fpga Design Engineer

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today's mission and stay ahead of tomorrow's threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

The Effector Digital Products (EDP) department develops electronics for our weapon system products. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space.

As a Principal Fpga Design Engineer you will develop Fpga designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using Vhdl for the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (Rf) and Electro-Optical (Eo) Dsp, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces.

Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.

This position is 100% ONSITE in Tucson, Arizona.

What You Will Do

• Deliver production-quality Fpga releases from initial proof of concept to production
• Architect Fpga-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
• Translate system-level requirements into Fpga requirements.
• Design and code in Vhdl for reliability and maintainability.
• Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage.
• Drive projects and execute program schedules on time and budget.
• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plans, and user's guides.
• Manage moderately sized projects or processes
• Viewed as subject-matter expert within discipline
• Able to operate with minimal oversight from manager
• Coaches, reviews, and delegates work to junior engineers
• Support internal and external technical reviews
• Support customer interactions and relations
• Make improvements to processes, systems or products to enhance overall performance

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience
• Fpga/Asic design (Vhdl and/or Verilog coding) or Fpga/Asic verification (SystemVerilog coding)
• Xilinx or Microsemi devices and flow tools
• Delivering Fpga/Asic solutions to system level applications
• Hands on experience with integration and debug of Fpga/Asic devices

Qualifications We Prefer

• Fpga design experience in one or more of the following areas:
• Radar processing techniques
• Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors
• Embedded systems design using Arm, Microblaze, or Nios processors
• Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGT's)
• Experience leading technical teams and programs

Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
