About The Position

L3Harris is seeking a talented FPGA design engineer with industry experience in wireless digital communications, modems, networking, and/or digital signal processing (DSP). The team designs advanced wireless digital communication systems and electronic warfare systems. Development covers the full design lifecycle, including proposals, requirements definition, coding, simulation, synthesis, place and route, and verification testing. The position involves challenging work with a team of engineers and requires the ability to work both collaboratively and as an individual contributor. The role is located in Carlsbad, California, and follows a 9/80 schedule: employees work nine out of 14 days, totaling 80 hours, with every other Friday off.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree and 9 years of prior experience, or a graduate degree and 7 years of prior experience; in lieu of a degree, at least 13 years of prior related experience.
Active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Industry experience in wireless digital communications, modems, networking, and/or digital signal processing (DSP).

Nice To Haves

Experience developing in VHDL (preferred) or Verilog.
Experience implementing complex modem and/or DSP circuits in programmable logic using FPGA devices; equivalent ASIC design experience is applicable.
Experience in modem FPGA development, including discrete-time DSP and digital communications.
Experience with modem or high-speed DSP data paths, digital filters, FFTs, and error-correction codes such as Turbo or LDPC.
Experience with simulation, synthesis, and placement tools such as ModelSim, Synplicity, Xilinx Vivado/ISE, and/or Altera Quartus.
Experience with high-level synthesis (HLS).
Laboratory debug experience using digital scopes, logic analyzers, BERTs, and other complex measurement devices.
FPGA design experience using high-speed serial interfaces (3+ Gbps).
Experience with software and FPGA interfaces, memory controllers, and high-speed interfaces.
Experience with testbench architectures and working knowledge of Matlab, SystemC, C, and/or C++.
Familiarity with code revision management tools such as Git/Bitbucket and JIRA.

Responsibilities

Develop FPGA designs for advanced wireless digital communication and electronic warfare systems.
Contribute across the design lifecycle, from proposals and requirements definition through coding, simulation, synthesis, place and route, and verification testing.
Work on forward error correction, modulation, demodulation, digital filters, electronic warfare, networking, and industry-standard interfaces.
Verify FPGA designs through simulation and unit testing.
Collaborate with a team while also contributing independently.
