• Must be eligible to obtain a Secret Security Clearance
• HDL Fundamentals: Working knowledge of a Hardware Description Language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog
• Digital Logic Design: Solid understanding of digital logic design principles, including state machines, combinational and sequential logic
• FPGA Architecture: Familiarity with the fundamental architecture of FPGAs
• Simulation & Verification Tools: Familiarity with digital logic simulation tools
• Programming Skills: Familiarity in at least one programming language (e.g., C, C++, Python, MATLAB) for testbench development, embedded systems integration, or data analysis
• Problem-Solving & Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Communication & Teamwork: Effective written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, with a specialization in FPGA design or digital signal processing
• FPGA Development Tools: Experience with FPGA development tools from Xilinx (Vivado, ISE) or Intel (Quartus Prime)
• High-Speed Interface Protocols: Knowledge of high-speed serial communication protocols (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet)

Benefits:

• Excellent benefits package (including tuition reimbursement for advanced degrees)
• Flexible work schedule, including every other Friday off
• Flexible work environment
• Hybrid position, allowing you to balance on-site collaboration with remote work
