At Trident Systems Space Electronic Systems (SES) division, we believe in the power of using strong engineering principles to drive innovation and solve complex problems. We foster a culture of rigorous engineering and continuous improvement, leveraging the full knowledge of our organization through collaborative product development processes that include design and peer reviews. We combine our expertise in space electronics with right-sized development processes to create innovative, high-performance space-based electronic systems that meet our customers' evolving needs.

We are a mission partner supporting DoD, Intelligence Community, and Civil space customers. We develop complex, radiation effects mitigated, designs that balance competing requirements in modern space programs, delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable our customers to achieve more in space.

The Senior FPGA Engineer will play a critical role in the design and development of advanced FPGA solutions supporting cutting-edge space-based electronic systems. This position is responsible for architecting, implementing, and verifying complex high-speed programmable logic designs for Software Defined Radios (SDRs), On-Board Processors (OBPs), and storage solutions using the latest AMD (Xilinx) technologies. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in RTL design, timing closure, simulation, and system integration, and thrives in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment delivering mission-critical solutions to DoD, Intelligence Community, and Civil space customers.

• Work within a multi-discipline team of engineers designing Software Defined Radios (SDRs), On-Board Processors (OBPs) and storage solutions for space applications utilizing the latest Xilinx (AMD) technologies (e.g., Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC, and Versal ACAP)
• Create and maintain complete FPGA designs using a combination of VHDL and Vivado IP Integrator with a strong emphasis on efficient data path architecture, reliable timing closures, and high-performance implementations
• Code, simulate and verify a wide range of RTL modules for FPGAs including modules for digital signal processing (DSP), control algorithms, interfaces to external peripherals, etc.
• Design and implement solutions that use embedded ARM processors, DDR4 memory, high-speed serial interfaces such as Aurora, JESD204B/C, PCIe, 1G/10G/100G Ethernet, etc.
• Create and maintain comprehensive simulation test bench modules to ensure a high degree of code coverage and verify functionality of firmware modules
• Create and maintain Timing Constraints to ensure design is fully constrained and consistent Timing Results are achieved post-implementation
• Create and maintain IP core level and Top-Level design documents
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and contribute towards FPGA Design methodologies and best practices
• Work in close collaboration with hardware and software engineers throughout the integration process to ensure that FPGA designs are correctly implemented
• Mentor junior engineers: provide training, guidance, and support as needed
• Ability to support travel or off-site work, as needed
• Perform other duties as assigned

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related technical degree
• 6+ years of related experience with a bachelor’s degree OR a 4+ years of experience with a master’s degree
• Experience with firmware design, simulation and verification
• Thorough understanding of FPGA design methodology including physical synthesis, static timing analysis, place/route, verification, power analysis, and timing closure techniques
• Experience designing with Xilinx SoC/FPGA devices using the Vivado Design Suite
• Experience with RTL logic design and coding using VHDL
• Experience writing simulation testbenches to identify bugs and verify designs using SystemVerilog
• Experience with board bring-up/verification in an electronic lab environment and use of FPGA ILA-based debugging tools such as Vivado HW Debugger, Chipscope, SmartDebug

• Experience programming and implementing designs using the Versal AI Engines
• Experience designing with Microsemi (Microchip) FPGAs using Libero
• Experience using revision control systems, such as Git
• Experience using Modelsim/Questasim and/or Aldec simulation tools
