What does an FPGA electrical engineer do?

An FPGA Electrical Engineer specializes in designing, developing, and testing digital circuits using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). They write hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL or Verilog to program the logic on FPGAs, enabling customized hardware solutions for applications such as telecommunications, automotive systems, and consumer electronics. Their work often involves collaborating with hardware and software teams to ensure efficient, high-performance system integration and to troubleshoot complex hardware issues.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FPGA electrical engineer?

To thrive as an FPGA Electrical Engineer, you need a solid background in digital design, hardware description languages (such as VHDL or Verilog), and a degree in electrical or computer engineering. Proficiency with FPGA development tools like Xilinx Vivado, Altera Quartus, simulation software, and relevant certifications (e.g., Xilinx Certified FPGA Engineer) are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set exceptional engineers apart in collaborative and deadline-driven environments. These skills ensure the reliable design, implementation, and troubleshooting of complex digital systems central to modern electronics.

What are typical collaboration points for an FPGA electrical engineer within a product development team?

FPGA Electrical Engineers typically work closely with hardware engineers, embedded software developers, and system architects throughout the product development cycle. Common collaboration points include defining hardware requirements, integrating FPGA designs with other system components, and coordinating on testing and troubleshooting. Regular cross-functional meetings and design reviews are standard, ensuring that the FPGA solutions align with overall product specifications and performance goals. Effective communication and teamwork are essential for efficiently addressing integration issues and achieving project milestones.

What is the difference between Fpga Electrical Engineer vs Digital Signal Processing Engineer?

AspectFpga Electrical EngineerDigital Signal Processing Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, FPGA design certificationsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, DSP certifications
Work EnvironmentHardware design labs, FPGA development teamsResearch labs, software development teams
Industry UsageElectronics, aerospace, defense, telecommunicationsAudio, radar, communications, image processing

While both roles require a strong background in electrical engineering, Fpga Electrical Engineers focus on designing and implementing FPGA hardware solutions, whereas Digital Signal Processing Engineers specialize in developing algorithms for signal analysis and processing. The roles often collaborate but differ in their core focus—hardware versus algorithm development.

Are you ready to explore the world of aerospace and defense? Do you want to learn from and collaborate with some of the greatest minds in the industry? At RTX, our internships, co-ops and full-time careers provide an exceptional foundation to work on complex problems, advance your skills and create a safer, more connected world. Discover opportunities to make a difference at RTX.

The Effector Guidance Electronics (EGE) department develops electronics for weapon system products. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing at Raytheon.  

What You Will Do:

In this role as a FPGA Electrical Engineer I, you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including AMD, Altera, and Microchip. Designs commonly support the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. Designers collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architecture, modeling of algorithms, partitioning, code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed tests and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through production release. Design documentation and configuration management are required.   

Qualification You Must Have:

  • Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineer or Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) or related degree 
  • Experience or Coursework in Digital Design and HDL coding targeting configurable logic devices

Qualifications We Prefer
