subsystems using VHDL. Perform third-party IP core integration and
verification. Develop configurable, self-checking test benches
implemented in VHDL/OSVVM. Integrate FPGA design with embedded
software, flight software, and peripheral hardware components.
Optimize FPGA designs for performance, power consumption, and
resource utilization. Utilize FPGA toolchains such as Xilinx Vivado
for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure. Document design
specifications, generate reports, and contribute to peer review
sessions. Assist in lab testing, system integration, and problem
resolution throughout design cycles. Requirements Required Skills,
Experience, and Education : Due to facility security requirements,
only U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible for
consideration at this time. Ability to complete a pre-employment

and verification environments. Willingness to work evenings and
weekends as needed to meet critical project milestones. Bachelor of
Science (or higher) in Electrical Engineering. Desired Skills,
Experience, and Education : Experience in ASIC design, DSP, or
communication systems. Prior exposure to high-speed interface
design for RF systems. Knowledge of Verilog. Experience with
simulation and verification tools such as ModelSim, ISE Simulator,
or equivalent. Prior experience with verification frameworks (UVM,
OSVVM, OVM, etc.) Expertise in synchronous and asynchronous digital
design, pipelines, finite-state machines, and FPGA architecture.
Experience working with memory-mapped and stream interfaces (AXI-4,
Avalon, AXI-Stream). Experience with the development of high-speed
interfaces using Gigabit Transceivers (ex., PCIe, Ethernet,
DisplayPort). Proficiency with hardware debugging tools, including
logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and timing analysis. Understanding
of FPGA constraints, timing closure, and synthesis directives.
