Digital Design Engineer

Interim clearance is sufficient for the start of this assignment

Required Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related scientific/engineering field
  
• Strong knowledge of hardware description languages including VHDL, Verilog, and/or System Verilog
  
• Experience designing and testing programmable logic designs targeting System on Chip (SoC) FPGA architectures that required integration of the programmable logic with on-chip software processing
  
• Experience with unit-level and FPGA chip level verification of RTL
  
• Experience with laboratory benchtop testing of FPGA designs including the use of integrated logic analyzers (e.g. ChipScope) and/or laboratory equipment such as stand-alone logic analyzers or digital oscilloscopes
  
• Experience designing, testing, and debugging high-speed I/O interfaces and protocols utilizing an FPGA’s built-in SERDES
  
• Experiencing developing, designing, and programmable logic for signal processing applications
  
• Strong verbal and written communications skills including collaborating with other on-site and/or remote technical team members, preparing and sharing technical results with others, and documenting work to aid other team members and activities

Desired Skills:

• Experience developing and testing with Xilinx-based RFSoC devices
  
• Experience using Modelsim/Questa/CocoTB toolchain for RTL simulation
  
• Familiarity with continuous integration (CI) pipelines for joint FPGA and embedded software development
  
• Familiarity with Ethernet, Infiniband, and/or PCIe protocols, testing, tools, and debugging
  
• Familiarity with RDMA and RoCE protocols
  
• Experience programming in Python

Work Location:
