Must be a U.S. citizen.
Experience designing, verifying, integrating, and testing FPGA/ASIC solutions.
Ability to develop RTL using VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog and debug designs with simulation tools.
Expertise in achieving FPGA timing closure and generating test benches.

Nice To Haves

Experience validating FPGA hardware in a laboratory using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debug tools such as ILA or JTAG.
Scripting experience with TCL, Python, or shell scripts.
Ability to work in Windows and Linux development environments.
Demonstrable experience with version control, such as Git or SVN.
Experience with Actel and Xilinx tool flows for implementing complete designs.
Experience developing model-based systems using digital engineering toolsets such as MATLAB or Simulink.
Knowledge of systems engineering, robust design tools and techniques, and model-centric development approaches.
Experience with Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) or similar SysML modeling software.

Responsibilities

Participate in all project phases and produce detailed design documentation, verification plans, and reports.
Design and develop custom digital devices, including ASICs and FPGAs, for Rolls-Royce electronic engine control units.
Verify complex products using FPGAs and/or ASICs to DO-254.
Develop RTL using a hardware description language such as VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog, and debug designs using simulation tools.
Achieve timing closure on FPGA designs and generate test benches.
Evaluate design process flows, including high-level design, synthesis, place and route, timing constraints, and power utilization.
Integrate and test FPGA/ASIC solutions for current and future engine control system products.
Prepare documentation for review by certification authorities.
