Senior Fpga Engineer (onsite)

RTX RTX · Aerospace · cedar rapids, IA +1 · Engineering

Senior FPGA Engineer role focused on the design, implementation, verification, and integration of high-performance digital ASICs, FPGAs, and circuit boards for computer graphics, signal processing, and information assurance products within the aerospace and defense industry. Requires experience in RTL coding, digital circuit architecture, timing analysis, and verification using System Verilog. Security clearance is mandatory.

What you'd actually do

  1. Identify requirements capture, ASIC / FPGA digital architecture and design using RTL, timing closure, verification, and system integration.
  2. Recommend new tools and practices for continuous improvement in the group’s ASIC / FPGA design flow.
  3. Contribute to engineering estimates for new program pursuits.
  4. Provide technical leadership for project design teams by breaking down work, planning activities, and reporting status.
