  • Extensive FPGA design / implementation including VDHL design / development
  • Knowledge of FPGA design environments, including ISE, Vivado (preferred), EDK, Modelsim and Matlab a plus
  • Experience in the following:
  • Creating requirements for VHDL designs
  • Selection of host programmable devices (FPGA or other)
  • Simulation / modeling of VHDL design (we use Matlab)
  • Implementation of design and hardware testing onto host FPGA
  • Test of overall communication system
  • Documentation of the design.
  • Experience in designing, developing, and testing RTL.
  • Experience / knowledge of signal processing is helpful/preferred (wireless communications: satcom, airborne, ground-to-ground, radio comm, point-to-point, multi-point, etc.)
  • This role is NOT responsible for algorithm development for signal processing, but will coordinate on those design sessions
  • Knowledge of customer needs and competing products.
  • Mental ability to perform analytical work.
