About The Position

Radiation Test Solutions (RTS), a family company of Applied Technical Services, is seeking a motivated FPGA Design Engineer to support development and verification of FPGA-based systems for aerospace, defense, and advanced electronics applications. Under the guidance of senior engineers, the engineer will participate in FPGA design, simulation, verification, hardware integration, and testing while developing the skills needed to become an independent FPGA designer. The role offers early-career, hands-on experience with modern FPGA technologies, digital design methodologies, and high-reliability electronic systems. RTS is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and provides radiation effects testing and analysis of semiconductor devices and materials for space, airborne, and ground applications. The position is full-time and pays $100,000–$150,000 per year. Access to information subject to ITAR export controls requires the applicant to be a U.S. Person.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
At least 2 years of FPGA design experience.
Proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog.
Experience with AMD/Xilinx, Microsemi/Microchip, and/or Intel FPGA toolchains.
Experience in digital design, timing closure, clock-domain crossing, simulation, and verification.
Experience with high-speed interfaces, memory architectures, and embedded systems integration.
Must qualify as a U.S. Person under ITAR requirements.

Responsibilities

Develop FPGA designs using VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog.
Create simulation environments, testbenches, and verification plans.
Perform timing analysis, resource optimization, and design closure activities.
Interface with embedded processors, high-speed serial links, memory devices, communication protocols, and mixed-signal systems.
Support board bring-up, debugging, and laboratory validation activities.
Participate in customer technical reviews.
Coordinate with FPGA manufacturers and development partners.
Collaborate with RTS radiation effects engineers during test planning and data interpretation.
