At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. As an FPGA Design Engineer II you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces. Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.

Requirements

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience
Experience with VHDL and/or Verilog coding
Experience with Xilinx or Microsemi devices and flow tools
Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date

Nice To Haves

FPGA/ASIC design experience in one or more of the following areas: Radar processing techniques
Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors
Embedded systems design using ARM, Microblaze, or Nios processors
Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs)
Constrained random verification in UVM using System Verilog
Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce

Responsibilities

Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production
Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
Translate system level requirements into FPGA requirements
Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability
Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage
Help drive projects and execute to program schedules on time and budget
Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user’s guides
May lead small teams and mentor junior engineers
May support internal and external technical reviews
