FPGA Designer


Job Description:

  • Responsible for the design, test, and integration of complex, high speed FPGAs.
  • Fully document design details and hold a design review prior to implementation.
  • Implement the approved design using VHDL.
  • Verify the design by generating all necessary test benches and/or test vectors and simulating with ModelSim.
  • Target the design to a Xilinx orActel device using synthesis and place & route tools.
  • Able to work in a fast-paced development team, working closely with hardware and software engineers during test and integration.

Position Requirements:

  • Minimum BSEE with 2 years experience (or Masters).
  • Experience in the design of FPGA logic, good knowledge of digital device characteristics, design and simulation tools (i.e. ModelSim) based on HDL (Hardware Description Language, VHDL preferred).
  • Experience using lab instruments (oscilloscopes, signal generators, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers) with board-level integration/test.
  • Able to understand, read, and review schematic drawings.
  • Xilinx/Actel is desired.
  • Space hardware, communication hardware, and/or radiation background is a plus.
  • Self-directive person with ability to handle a dynamic work environment.
  • Experienced with external memory interfaces such as SDRAM, EEPROM, etc.
  • The ability to write solid VHDL code given the requirements.
