FPGA/ASIC Engineer I

RTX•Cambridge, MA

1d•$62,900 - $119,700•Onsite

About The Position

RTX is seeking a qualified, eager FPGA/ASIC Electrical Engineer with knowledge of digital systems, HDL, signal conversion, and signal processing, and an interest in developing real-time embedded systems. The engineer will use knowledge of high-speed interfaces and experience across programming domains—including C/C++, VHDL, Verilog, and scripting languages—to create custom R&D hardware. The role is part of a project team that designs, analyzes, and prototypes innovative multi-domain system architectures to address real-world problems. The position is onsite at BBN’s Cambridge, Massachusetts headquarters. It requires U.S. citizenship and an active, existing DoD Secret clearance after the first day. BBN describes a collaborative research environment with experienced government R&D leadership, research scientists who can mentor and support research goals, and business and program support. The position offers a salary range of $62,900–$119,700. Eligible applicants may qualify for benefits and incentive compensation, depending on business unit, position level, and other stated factors.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by the start date.
Classroom, project, or prior internship experience with embedded code and digital logic development processes, including logic design, verification, timing analysis, board bring-up, and validation.
Classroom, project, or prior internship experience with high-speed interfaces, including Ethernet, serial point-to-point communication (SPI, I2C, sFPDP, or similar), and PCIe.
Scripting development experience, such as bash or Tcl.
U.S. citizenship is required.
An active and existing DoD Secret security clearance is required after day one.

Nice To Haves

Experience with SoC boards running bare-metal code and configuring and deploying embedded Linux, such as Petalinux.
Experience with RFSoC boards and/or high-speed analog signal generation and digitization.
Software development experience in C/C++ and Python.

Responsibilities

Develop real-time control system architectures that affect the performance of physical systems.
Develop detection, classification, localization, and tracking (DCLT) algorithms for novel signal sources in high-noise environments.
Support development and testing of experimental testbeds for real-time sensor processing systems, quantum information systems, integrated photonic systems, and other physical sciences pursuits.
Support implementation and evaluation of real-time systems in real-world contexts and conduct performance analyses.
Design, analyze, and prototype multi-domain system architectures and custom R&D hardware.
