FPGA Electrical Design Engineer I (Onsite)

RTX•Tucson, AZ

11d•$57,200 - $108,800•Onsite

About The Position

An Electrical Engineer in the Effector Digital Products Department will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Intel, Microchip, and Lattice. Designs are implemented using VHDL and support the following type of applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) Digital Signal Processing (DSP), control loops, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. Configurable Logic Design Engineers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, select parts, architect the device, 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, and eventually production. Designs are documented and configuration managed throughout the entire design process.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date.
Demonstrated experience with digital design and VHDL or Verilog coding.
Familiarity with Xilinx, Altera or Microsemi/Microchip FPGAs.
Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.
Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.
U.S. citizenship is required.
Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.

Nice To Haves

ABET is the preferred, although not required accreditation standard.
3.0 cumulative GPA desired.
Demonstrated ability to work in a team.
