Digital Engineer

VHDL, embedded firmware development knowledge of Radar, Electronic Warfare, or Space technologies

Ideally 5+ years but will consider as little as 3+ years – no junior candidates though,

Open to candidates who have done architecture/implementation/verification, but implementation is the priority.

Role Overview

Our organization is seeking a Digital Engineer with a desire to learn new technologies to join our innovative Software and Digital Technologies Organization. This role will help develop, enhance, and maintain software on cutting-edge products and systems. You will have a challenging and rewarding opportunity to be a part of our enterprise-wide digital transformation, using the latest digital development tools and Agile practices to deliver critical national defense products and capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, verification, simulation, and testing of FPGAs.
• Utilize modeling and simulation tools to expedite development and testing of firmware updates.
• Develop test plans and implement rigorous testing and validation processes for digital designs to ensure functionality, performance, and security requirements are met.
• Adhere to coding standards, revision control practices, and peer review procedures.
• Conduct tests using high-speed oscilloscopes, signal generators, signal analyzers, and FPGA debugging tools, and analyze test data.
• Create engineering change orders and perform fundamental types of analysis such as power utilization and signal integrity.
• Provide support for Systems Integration and Test operations.
• Lead on-site testing of digital designs.
• Manage design constraints (timing, power, I/O) and perform static timing analysis to meet critical performance targets.
• Use interpersonal skills to work effectively within a development team to understand system-level interdependencies.

Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering (BSCE), Electrical Engineering (BSEE), or a related STEM Degree.

Experience: Must have 5 years of related experience. Must have 5 years of experience with VHDL programming language. Must have 5 years of experience with firmware development, including specification, design, implementation, integration, debug, and maintenance.

Technical Skills: Must have 5 years of experience working in schematic and programmable logic tools such as AMD/Xilinx, Vivado, or Altera/Quartus.

Additional Requirements: Must be willing and able to obtain a DOD Secret clearance before beginning work on the program, and must be able to maintain that level of clearance through the duration of the assignment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's Degree in Computer Engineering (MSCE), Electrical Engineering (MSEE), or related STEM Degree with 8+ years of related experience.
• Knowledge of timing constraints and achieving timing closure.
• Experience in real-time embedded firmware development and knowledge of Radar, Electronic Warfare, or Space technologies.
• Proficiency with schematic and programmable logic tools.
• Proficiency in a government contracting environment.
• Ability to collaborate in a team environment.
• Experience working in a lab/testing environment.
