Description

You will develop, integrate, test, and support custom FPGA firmware within the Torpedo Systems Group.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and document FPGA firmware hierarchies, components, interfaces, and data flows.
• Develop firmware in accordance with detailed design descriptions.
• Simulate and test firmware components in preparation for integration.
• Define FPGA timing, pinout, and placement constraints.
• Integrate and test firmware on target hardware using FPGA tools and laboratory equipment.
• Identify necessary schematic updates and hardware reworks to support design.
• Document failures, identify root causes, implement fixes, and verify changes.

Required Skills

• 5+ years of job-related experience, or a Master's degree plus 3 years of experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, or Mathematics field.
• Experience implementing FPGA firmware including custom VHDL components with state machines, synchronous/asynchronous logic, and external interfaces.
• Understanding of underlying FPGA fabric and working across cross-clock boundaries.
• Familiarity with Xilinx (AMD) and/or Altera (Intel) compiler, programming, and debug tools.
• Experience reviewing schematics, parts lists, and re-work documentation.
• Ability to maintain configuration management documentation for FPGA designs.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with floor planning, timing optimizations, and implementing custom digital signal processing filters.
• Working knowledge of standard network protocols such as IPv4, UDP, and TCP/IP.
• Agile experience.
