2026 Fulltime-Raytheon FPGA Electrical Engineer I

RTX•Huntsville, AL

3d•Onsite

About The Position

The Effector Digital Products (EDP) department develops electronics for our weapon system products. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing at Raytheon. As an FPGA Electrical Design Engineer I, you will participate in the development of FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs commonly support the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces. Designers collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architecture, modeling of algorithms, partitioning, 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 production release. Design documentation and configuration management are required.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major.
The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
Experience in FPGA/ASIC design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA/ASIC verification (SystemVerilog coding)

Nice To Haves

FPGA 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)

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)
test 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 program schedules on time and budget
