The engineer will contribute to advanced electronic fuzing solutions for defense applications, working across FPGA logic design, hardware interfaces, embedded firmware, and microcontroller development.
The role involves developing FPGA designs using Verilog HDL, performing SystemVerilog-based verification, and supporting C#-based bare-metal microcontroller development. The ideal candidate has practical experience with digital logic design, embedded systems, hardware debugging, and verification methodologies.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree with at least 6 years of relevant experience; OR
- Graduate degree with at least 4 years of relevant experience; OR
- In lieu of a degree, at least 10 years of relevant experience.
- Relevant experience in FPGA, ASIC, digital hardware, embedded systems, or related electrical engineering disciplines.
- Experience with digital logic design and hardware architecture.
- Knowledge of HDL development, particularly Verilog or VHDL.
- Understanding of embedded hardware and firmware development.
- Ability to analyze technical requirements, troubleshoot hardware issues, and support product testing.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to manage priorities and respond to short-notice engineering needs.
Preferred Qualifications and Technical Skills

- Hands-on Verilog HDL logic design experience.
- Experience with Microsemi / Actel FPGA devices.
- Knowledge of antifuse and enhanced Flash FPGA architectures.
- Familiarity with digital design principles, logic architecture, and state-machine development.
- Experience with VHDL is also beneficial.
Verification and Simulation
- SystemVerilog verification experience.
- Familiarity with AVM, VMM, OVM, or UVM verification methodologies.
- Experience with QuestaSim or similar simulation tools.
Embedded Software
- Embedded C programming experience.
- Experience developing algorithms, manipulating data structures, and writing optimized embedded code.
- C# development experience for bare-metal microcontroller applications.
- Understanding of microcontroller firmware development and hardware interfaces.
Laboratory and Debugging Tools
- Oscilloscopes.
- Logic analyzers.
- JTAG / ICE debuggers.
- Protocol analyzers.
- Hardware and firmware debugging in laboratory environments.
Development Tools and Methodologies
- Git, SVN, or TFS version control.
- Hardware/software/firmware development lifecycle.
- Design verification, code reviews, unit testing, prototyping, and product testing.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is an electrical or hardware engineer with strong FPGA and digital logic design experience, particularly in Verilog HDL. They should understand embedded hardware and firmware development and be comfortable working in a laboratory environment to troubleshoot and validate complex electronic systems.
Candidates with experience in defense electronics, aerospace hardware, safety-critical electronic systems, or embedded control products may be particularly relevant.
