  • Microchip devices (RTAX, ProASIC, RTG4) and toolchains (Libero).
  • Six years of experience in embedded systems firmware development, preferably for aerospace or space applications .
  • Six years of experience designing with Hardware Description Languages ( VHDL or Verilog ).
  • Proven experience successfully taking VHDL or Verilog designs from concept to physical hardware implementation.
  • Expertise in digital design techniques, including multiple clock-domain management.
  • Proficient with in-system debuggers and logic analyzers .
  • Experience with Tool Command Language (TCL) for script automation.
  • Experience designing and managing FPGA physical constraints.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance.
  • Knowledge of RTOS , bare-metal firmware, and hardware-software co-design principles.
  • Familiarity with modern verification techniques (e.g., linting and constrained random testing).
  • Familiarity with Xilinx SoC devices, FPGA floorplanning, Xilinx System Generator, hardware accelerators, and space communication protocols.
  • Familiarity with C/C++, Python, or Java for embedded software or scripting tasks.
  • Familiarity with alternative synthesis and simulation environments (Synopsys, Aldec).
  • AV offers an excellent benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401K with company matching, a 9/80 work schedule and a paid holiday shutdown.
