Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
The Air Dominance and Strike (AD&S) Electrical Engineering Team develops high-reliability avionics, embedded processing, and power systems for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms.
We are looking for a Senior FPGA Design Engineer to join our team in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role, you will design and integrate RTL for FPGA and SoC platforms used in high-performance embedded systems, avionics, and mission-critical hardware.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement RTL in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog for FPGA and SoC-based systems.
- Translate system and hardware requirements into microarchitecture, interface definitions, and implementation plans.
- Own FPGA designs or major functional blocks from architecture through integration, timing closure, and lab debug.
- Develop and execute simulation, synthesis, and implementation flows, including timing and resource closure.
- Debug functional, timing, and integration issues in simulation and on hardware.
- Support board bring-up, lab validation, and system integration on target platforms.
- Collaborate with hardware, embedded software, systems, and verification engineers to deliver complete solutions.
- Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical documentation.
- Contribute to reusable design practices, coding standards, and development workflows.
- Support rapid prototyping while maintaining the engineering rigor required for production hardware.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 4+ years of FPGA, ASIC, or closely related digital design experience.
- Proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Hands-on experience with simulation, synthesis, implementation, and timing closure on modern FPGA platforms.
- Hands-on debug experience in simulation and on hardware.
- Strong digital design fundamentals, including clocking, resets, state machines, CDC awareness, and interface design.
- Proficiency with Linux-based development environments, Git-based workflows, and Tcl and/or Python scripting.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications:
- 7+ years of FPGA development experience.
- Experience owning a major functional block, subsystem, or full FPGA design from concept through integration.
- Familiarity with AMD (Xilinx), Intel/Altera, or Lattice FPGA development environments.
- Experience with embedded systems and hardware/software co-design, including AMD (Xilinx) Vitis or similar tooling.
- Familiarity with common high-speed or embedded interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, JESD204, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, or MIL-STD-1553.
- Familiarity with DO-254 or similar military or safety-critical development standards.
- Experience building or improving reusable IP, verification infrastructure, CI/CD flows, or team workflows.
- Familiarity with modern build and development tooling such as Jira, automated regression infrastructure, and reproducible build environments.
Benefits: Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits packages.
Salary Range: $132,000-$198,000 USD
