Job Description:

This position will work closely with software and systems to lead the development of FPGA Firmware in the Space & Airborne Systems (SAS) Segment of L3Harris. The SAS Segment provides mission solutions for space and airborne domains with defense, intelligence, and commercial applications.

 

Essential Functions:

The Lead FPGA Engineer will perform the following:

  • Support proposal efforts in the estimation and planning of end-to-end FPGA development.
  • Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA requirements and specifications.
  • Architect solutions against requirements and implement those solutions in various FPGA technologies or platforms.
  • Lead small teams of engineers in executing FPGA development of highly reliable and robust FPGA designs.
  • Follow, enforce, and refine consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
  • Develop HDL code for module and top level and generate appropriate testbench and verification environments.
  • Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities.
  • Synthesize designs to targeted technologies and perform constraint driven place and route and analysis.
  • Ensure FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelors of Sciense Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 9 years professional experience or a Graduate degree and a minimum of 7 years relevant experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 13 years of prior related experience.
  • Professional experience with development of FPGA requirements and specifications
  • Professional experience with VHDL, the FPGA design process, and the tools used to generate the FPGA designs
  • Experience with generating review documentation and presenting technical reviews internally and customer facing
  • Professional experience building FPGAs with difficult timing and/or difficult routing constraints
  • Professional experience with Microchip RTG4 FPGAs and associated Microchip design tools
  • Prior or current experience leading FPGA design efforts, with responsibility for cost and schedule execution
  • Ability to secure a Secret or Top Secret security clearance

Preferred Additional Skills:

  • Experience with standard lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators
  • Version control tools (subversion, git, etc)
  • Designing for space environments
  • High speed memory interfaces
  • High speed serial protocols (PCI Express, SRIO, Ethernet)
  • Analog to Digital (AD) and Digital to Analog (DA) interfaces
  • Control protocols such I2C, SPI, RS-232/422, and SpaceWire
  • Linting and CDC analysis tools
  • Xilinx, Microsemi, and Intel, Tool Suites (VHDL, Synthesis, Place and Route, Simulation, Timing Analysis)
  • Work in an integrated team environment with Hardware, Software, and Systems Engineering
