FPGA DSP Consulting Employee

Responsibilities: • Analyze, design, simulate, and implement algorithms in hardware descriptor languages, HDL (VHDL, Verilog), based on customer requirements and/or MATLAB model(s). • Collaborate with a multi-disciplined design team (electrical engineers, systems engineers and scientists) to design and integrate challenging DSP FPGA designs and RF sensor systems. • Collaborate with a multi-disciplined design team to design and integrate DSP applications for latest System on a Chip (SoC) implementations such as Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+, Intel Stratix-10, and Xilinx RFSoC. • Analyze, design, and implement HDL test benches in hardware description languages, HDL (VHDL, Verilog), for code validation and validation against models. • Perform design constraints generation and verification as well as evaluate synthesis and timing performance reports. • Implement and validate signal processing concepts such as FFTs, channelizers, digital filters, digital modulation, digital down/up-conversion, adaptive processing, etc. into either new or existing modular HDL designs. • Analyze, design, simulate, and implement designs which interface to common signaling standards, typical IP hard macros such as SERDES, PLLS, etc. and/or protocols such PCIe, JESD204B, LVDS, etc. • Analyze schematic diagrams for either custom or commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) electronic hardware involving high-speed digital and/or analog circuitry in associated FPGA-centric systems. • Develop and maintain requirements documents, functional specification documents, interface control documents, etc. • Generate and maintain engineering drawings and configuration management policies for FPGA project hierarchy. • Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and field testing. • Provide occasional technical support and/or field support planning, and other field support in general if needed. • Conduct experimental tests on latest FPGA and SoC evaluation boards, evaluate results, and then develop specifications for selecting next-generation components for deliverable systems. • Work on problems of diverse scope, determining methods and procedures to be used on new assignments, and providing feedback and recommendations to other technical personnel. • Interact with outside customers, suppliers, and functional peer groups. • Some travel and work at remote sites for limited time periods may be occasionally required. • Provide status reports to project managers and/or division production manager as required. Basic Qualifications: • Ability to be granted a security clearance. • Experience with at least one FPGA Integrated Design Environment tool set such as Xilinx Vivado and Mentor Graphics ModelSim. • Experience in signal processing theory and communications systems and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in resolving real world problems. • Experience with MATLAB signal processing environment. • BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related degree. • Minimum of 12 years of relevant experience. Preferred Qualifications: • MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related. • Experience writing test software in C/C++ or assembly language to validate design. • 5 to 8 years of relevant experience. • Experience with hardware integration, test and debug tools (high-speed logic analyzers, scopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.). • Familiarity with Electronic Warfare applications. • Experience with high-speed (> GHz) design techniques. • ARM or RISC-V embedded processor based SoC design experience. • Experience with performance characteristics of analog data converters, ADCs/DACs. • Familiarity with JESD204B. • Existing Secret (or above) Clearance.
