What is an FPGA RFSoC?

FPGA RFSoCs, or Field Programmable Gate Array Radio Frequency System-on-Chip devices, are integrated circuits that combine programmable logic (FPGA) with high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC) on a single chip. These devices are designed to handle radio frequency (RF) signal processing directly within the FPGA, reducing system complexity and latency. RFSoCs are commonly used in wireless communications, radar, and other applications that require high-performance, real-time processing of RF signals. They offer flexibility for rapid prototyping and deployment of complex RF systems.

What are some common challenges faced when working with RFSoC FPGAs in a development team?

Engineers working with RFSoC (Radio Frequency System-on-Chip) FPGAs often encounter challenges such as integrating high-speed analog and digital components, managing power consumption, and ensuring signal integrity. Collaboration is key, as projects typically require close coordination between hardware, firmware, and software teams to optimize overall system performance. Additionally, staying updated with evolving toolchains and verification methodologies is crucial for successful project delivery and professional growth.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FPGA RFSoC engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an FPGA RFSoC Engineer, you need a solid background in digital design, signal processing, and embedded systems, typically supported by a degree in electrical engineering or related fields. Proficiency with hardware description languages (such as VHDL or Verilog), Xilinx RFSoC development tools, and simulation software is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork set standout professionals apart in this role. These skills and qualities ensure the development of robust, high-performance FPGA solutions for demanding radio-frequency applications.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead the design, development, and integration of custom radio and RF hardware.

  • Develop and evaluate RF front ends, digital processing hardware, and embedded components using laboratory test equipment.

  • Collaborate with software, FPGA, cybersecurity, and systems engineering teams to develop and mature radio capabilities.

Job description

Parra Consulting Group (PCG) is seeking an RF Engineer -- Radio Systems / RF Hardware to lead the design, development, and integration of custom radio and RF hardware supporting critical national security missions. This role works across RF, digital, FPGA, and embedded systems to develop new communications capabilities, troubleshoot complex hardware, and rapidly prototype solutions for advanced mission requirements. This position is located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.


More About the Role

As a Radio Systems / RF Hardware Engineer, you'll provide hands-on engineering expertise across the full radio development lifecycle, from architecture and component selection through circuit design, FPGA integration, board bring-up, and RF characterization. You'll develop and integrate RF front ends, digital processing hardware, and embedded components while using laboratory test equipment to evaluate and troubleshoot system performance. You'll collaborate with embedded software, FPGA, cybersecurity, and systems engineering personnel to develop and mature custom radio capabilities for sophisticated operational environments.


Required Qualifications

  • Active TS/SCI security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Experience designing, developing, integrating, or troubleshooting RF communication systems or radio hardware.
  • Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, including signal chains, filtering, amplification, frequency conversion, impedance matching, noise, and link budgets.
  • Experience with analog/digital circuit design and PCB-level hardware development.
  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or embedded Linux.
  • Experience developing or integrating FPGA-based systems using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
  • Experience integrating embedded processors, FPGAs, RF transceivers, ADCs/DACs, or similar devices.
  • Hands-on experience with RF and electronics test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, and logic analyzers.
  • Ability to troubleshoot hardware at the component, board, and system levels.


Desired Qualifications

  • Experience designing a radio or RF transceiver from the board/component level, not solely integrating commercial radios.
  • Experience with software-defined radios, RF transceiver ICs, RF front ends, PLLs, mixers, LNAs, PAs, and filters.
  • Experience implementing DSP functions in FPGA logic, including filtering, FFTs, modulation/demodulation, or digital up/down conversion.
  • Experience with RF/mixed-signal PCB design, controlled impedance, grounding, shielding, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC considerations.
  • Experience with RFSoC, SoC FPGA, high-speed ADC/DAC interfaces, or similar architectures.
  • Experience with communications, unmanned systems, electronic warfare, SIGINT, radar, or other RF-intensive defense applications.
  • Experience rapidly prototyping and debugging custom RF or embedded hardware.
