## Description

We are looking for a Senior FPGA Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. As the technical lead for FPGA development supporting our airborne radar products, you will establish the foundation for FPGA design processes and best practices. You will be responsible for translating algorithmic requirements into FPGA implementations, leading signal processing design efforts, and collaborating with our Fort Collins team to ensure seamless integration across projects.

This will require expertise in FPGA design, signal processing, RTL development (SystemVerilog/VHDL), and Xilinx toolchains. If you are a self-directed technical leader who thrives on establishing new capabilities and can take an algorithm document and independently drive it through to hardware implementation, then this role is for you.

Responsibilities: Led FPGA architecture, design, and verification efforts for airborne radar systems from concept through production Translated signal processing algorithms into efficient, high-performance FPGA implementations on Xilinx SOC/FPGA platforms Established and drove robust FPGA design processes, coding standards, and verification methodologies for the airborne products team Collaborated with the Battlespace Awareness engineering team to ensure design consistency and knowledge transfer across sites Designed and implemented digital signal processing chains for radar systems, including data acquisition, filtering, and real-time processing Performed timing analysis, resource optimization, and debugging of complex FPGA designs Developed and maintained design documentation, including architecture specifications, design reviews, and verification plans Mentored and guided other engineers as the team scaled FPGA capabilities

Requirements: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering or related field 12+ years of professional experience in FPGA design and development Strong expertise in RTL design using SystemVerilog and/or VHDL Demonstrated experience with Xilinx FPGA devices and development tools (Vivado, Quartus, etc.) Proven experience in digital signal processing implementation on FPGAs Self-directed technical leadership with ability to independently drive projects from requirements to implementation Experience with FPGA verification methodologies and simulation tools Strong understanding of timing closure, resource optimization, and FPGA design constraints Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications: Experience with radar systems or software-defined radio development Familiarity with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204B, etc.) Experience with Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+, Altera AgileX, or RFSoC platforms Knowledge of embedded software development for FPGA SoC platforms Experience with MATLAB and algorithm-to-hardware workflows Understanding of RF systems and digital front-end design Familiarity with DO-254 or similar hardware design standards for airborne systems Experience with version control (Git) and continuous integration workflows Background in aerospace or defense systems development

Salary Range: $191,000-$253,000 USD
