Lead, FPGA Electrical Engineer - FL

Job Title: FPGA Design Engineer, Technical Lead Job Code: 17284 Job Location: Palm Bay, FL Job Schedule: On-site, 9/80 schedule (Every other Friday off) Relocation: Relocation assistance is available to qualified applicants Job Description: This self-motivated individual will help lead a team to develop FPGA Firmware in the Space & Airborne Systems (SAS) Segment of L3Harris. The SAS Segment provides critical mission solutions for space and airborne domains with defense, intelligence, and commercial applications. As an FPGA design engineer, you will be directly involved in the design, integration, and test of advanced satellite communication links, digital telemetry, signal processing, and encryption technology. Essential Functions: 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. Develop FPGA simulations to verify performance and requirements, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly. Present and review technical designs internally and customer facing. Qualifications: BS degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 9 years professional experience or a Graduate Degree with a minimum of 7 years relevant experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 13 years of prior related experience. 5 years experience with VHDL, the FPGA design process, and the tools used to generate the FPGA designs Experience building FPGAs with difficult timing and/or difficult routing constraints Experience with design and test of FPGA-based digital signal and baseband processing Experience with standard lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators Preferred Additional Skills: Familiar with spread spectrum modems and be able to architect multiple FPGA design for parallel demodulators Ability to combine communications/DSP system knowledge and VHDL experience Experience with verifying FPGA implementation against system models in MATLAB/Simulink Experience with 1553B, SpaceWire, XAUI, JESD204, I2C, SPI interfaces Experience with Xilinx and Microsemi development tools Experience with digital encryption schemes Experience with high speed processing
