Job description

The Digital Hardware Engineer will design, implement, and validate advanced digital systems
with an emphasis on FPGA-based development. The engineer will translate functional or
algorithmic specifications into optimized HDL architectures, perform simulation and
verification, and integrate these designs into prototypes and full hardware systems. This role
requires expertise in complex, highspeed digital design and hands-on experience bringing FPGA
implementations into working hardware.
In addition to digital design, the engineer will develop and test supporting hardware such as
power distribution, digital control and other PCBs. Responsibilities include building and refining
prototypes, diagnosing and resolving defects, overseeing hardware integration, and maintaining
detailed design documentation. The ideal candidate has strong FPGA/HDL skills, experience
with hardware design tools, and the ability to evaluate, iterate, and improve both digital and
physical system performance.
Required Skills:
• 5 years or more of relevant design experience, hands-on radar systems design, system
realization, and field testing of HF and microwave radar systems.
• Strong knowledge of VHDL/Verilog, Vivado/ISE, ISIM, EDK, System Generator, 3rd
Part IP
• Developing VHDL/Verilog test benches for functional and timing simulation
• Detailed PCB design and bring up using Mentor Graphics and Altium
• Usage of Test Equipment, RF signal generators, Oscilloscopes and Logic Analyzers
Working in Windows 7/10 and Linux environments, and TCL
• Candidate should be familiar with digital receiver design, including direct detect (i.e. RF
sampling) receiver architectures
• Proficiency with MATLAB
• Candidate must have good organizational skills with the ability to complete assignments
working independently and in a team environment, and effectively present results.
• Effective communication with colleagues, sponsors, and other research sites
• Radar timing and basic signal processing.
• RF converters
• Xilinx FPGA development and test in an Embedded environment
• PCB design, schematic capture, component selections and simulation using
Altium/Mentor Graphics. Evaluating design tradeoff against speed and resource
utilization
• Strong knowledge and understanding of analog/digital components, ADC and DAC
performances
• Experience with various hardware interfaces and communication: PCIe, I2C, LVDS,
Serial Data over Fiber Optics with Protocol knowledge
• Software design and development in C/C++
• Desire and ability to participate in field experiments and data collection efforts, which
could involve travel
Work location: Hybrid - Candidates should expect to be onsite 3 days a week
Clearance: Candidates must have an active secret clearance to be considered for this role
Travel: Estimated at 5% domestic and international
Interview Process: Initial pre-screen with Group Leader(s). If candidate advances to
next round, will be a larger group interview with technical staff.
