About The Position

Raytheon brings 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. We deliver solutions that help our nation and allies defend freedom and deter aggression, creating a safer, more secure world. Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense. Raytheon is seeking a Senior FPGA Design Engineer to provide direct execution support on an active program. This role focuses on RTL development, simulation, and implementation of FPGA-based designs, supporting delivery timelines and reducing program execution risk. You will work closely with electrical engineering and integration teams to support design, verification, and lab bring-up activities across multiple FPGA designs.

Requirements

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience designing FPGA-based systems using VHDL and/or Verilog.
• Experience using FPGA development toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Vivado) for synthesis, implementation, and timing closure.
• Experience developing and executing simulation testbenches using ModelSim, QuestaSim, or equivalent tools.
• Experience applying digital design fundamentals including finite state machines (FSMs), clocking, resets, synchronous design, and clock domain crossing (CDC).
• Experience developing TCL scripts to automate FPGA build and simulation workflows.
• Experience debugging FPGA designs in simulation and lab environments.
• Experience using Git or equivalent version control systems.

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to verification methodologies (SystemVerilog, structured test benches).
• Experience with Synplify synthesis tool.
• Experience working on multi-FPGA or complex board-level systems.
• Experience supporting integration and test activities in a lab environment.
• Exposure to MATLAB/Simulink, including HDL generation workflows and integration into FPGA toolchains.
• Experience instantiating vendor and third-party Ips.
• Familiarity with motor control systems.
• Exposure to JIRA or similar issue tracking methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain FPGA designs using VHDL and Verilog.
• Create and execute simulation testbenches using ModelSim / QuestaSim.
• Support FPGA synthesis, implementation, and debug using standard tool flows.
• Develop and maintain TCL/Batch scripts for building automation and repeatable workflows.
• Perform functional verification through simulation and lab validation.
• Support troubleshooting in lab environments and during system integration.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (EE, ME, systems, test) to resolve issues.
• Follow and contribute to Git-based configuration management processes.
• Document design approaches, test results, and issues in a structured manner.
• Develop repeatable and automated FPGA build and simulation workflows.
• Participate in and contribute to timely code reviews.

Benefits

• A total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs.
• Some of the benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance and child/adult backup care.
