Specialist, Electrical Engineer

L3HHCM20•Clifton, NJ

2d•$92,500 - $171,500•Onsite

About The Position

L3Harris EW in Clifton, NJ has an immediate need for a highly motivated FPGA design engineer. In this role, you will develop, simulate, and integrate highly specialized firmware designs targeting electronic warfare systems in the lab. Responsibilities include generating firmware-derived requirements, architecting digital solutions to meet those requirements, and performing formal test and lab verification of the functional system. The qualified candidate will be able to work semi-autonomously as a lead designer, potentially guiding a small team of firmware engineers through coding, simulation, code analysis, and circuit card design support.

Requirements

BS Degree in electrical/computer engineering and 4+ years of professional experience, an MS degree in electrical/computer engineering and 2+ years of professional experience, or 8+ years of related experience without a degree
U.S. citizen and be able to obtain a Security Clearance.

Nice To Haves

An active Secret security clearance
Thorough understanding of version control best practices and tools (subversion, git, etc.) to closely track changes to the FPGA baseline.
Experience with control protocols such I2C, SPI, RS-232/422, and DDR3 / DDR4.
Experience with complex block and top-level simulations of FPGA designs requiring high level transaction-based models.
Ability to multi-task and prioritize assignments in a fast-paced work environment and to complete design/project goals with minimal oversight and direction.
Formal FPGA verification experience, UVM, Directed Testing, Code Coverage
Experience with and understanding of Altera or Xilinx FPGA architectures
Experience with high-speed serial protocols (PCI Express, SRIO, Ethernet)
Experience designing Network Interface Designs
Experience in network protocols including IPv6 and UDP
Experience with SoC (Kintex UltraScale/UltraScale+, Virtex UltraScale/UltraScale+, Zynq UltraScale)
Experience with VHDL

Responsibilities

Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA specifications.
Architect solutions targeting FPGAs against requirements and implement those solutions on FPGA platforms.
Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities.
Review product specifications, and generate system and module-level block diagrams, flow diagrams, and design concepts.
Refine and enforce consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
Support team leaders generating FPGA design solutions.
Ensure the FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
Participate in the full life cycle development and integration of VHDL into different families of FPGAs.
Experience coding in VHDL and modeling algorithms, simulating and integrating multiple FPGA-based modules.
Drive the bench-level system integration with hardware, software, and other FPGA designs.
Support the planning and execution of project plans, design reviews and production release of modified or new product documentation.
Support qualification and production test in the event of test failures.
Candidate must be a U.S. citizen and be able to obtain a Security Clearance.
