Proficiency with linting and CDC analysis tools
Proficiency with Xilinx, Microsemi, and Intel Tool Suites (VHDL, Synthesis, Place and Route, Simulation, Timing Analysis)

Responsibilities

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 timing analysis.
Ensure the FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
