Systemc Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Integrated Power Systems directorate is seeking to add new talent to advance and support development of electric drive (E-drive) control system components for the All Electric Navy. The United States Navy’s goals for more capable and more affordable submarines are shared and met by Electric Boat engineers as cutting-edge electric drive propulsion system components are developed, integrated, tested, and delivered with the utmost importance placed on first-time quality, in a timeframe that supports the needs of the United States Navy.

Unique opportunities exist to advance technology centric to propulsion control, which presently consists of a highly diverse team of engineers and support staff that hold technical knowledge key to delivery of robust, high-performance control systems for the COLUMBIA Class. These opportunities are being expanded beyond the COLUMBIA Class, and require engineers to perform tasking centric to component design through internal research and development.

Candidates may be required to travel (domestically), based on needs of the program. Flexible Work Arrangements are offered by Electric Boat, but vary on the amount of classified material that the candidate interacts with.

Candidates whose interest and experience align with the following role are desired for this hands-on engineering effort:

• Experience in requirement analysis, hardware/software design, software development and test, hardware/software integration
• Software, embedded software development experience in one (or more) of the following languages: C, C++, Assembly, Python
• Hardware/system description language experience (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC) is desired, but not required
• Experience in selection of commercial-off-the-shelf and custom components and circuit/processing cards to support rapid prototyping and demonstration of system functionality (based on system requirements)
• Knowledge of industry-standard serial (RS-232/422/485, I2C, SPI) and high-speed serial protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, SRIO, etc.) and experience with fiber-optic communication systems is highly desired
• Experience working in bare-metal and multi-process environments are desired
• Experience with Xilinx, Microsemi, Texas Instruments, and Intel product lines and offerings
• Experience with Visual Studio, QT, Jira, Git
• Ability to thoroughly document code and contribute to engineering/design reports for distribution to external stakeholders
• Detailed understanding of how to properly document test cases and create effective and focused testing plans
• Able to prepare for peer review by creating practical demonstrations of proposed solutions and demonstrating them to other members of the team
• Familiarity with Agile development

Required qualifications:

• B.S. or B.E. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering
• 5 or more years post-graduate engineering experience
• Be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance through the U.S. DoD (candidates must be a U.S. citizen)

Preferred qualifications:

• Software development experience in one (or more) of the following languages: C, C++, and Assembly
• Experience with Visual Studio, QT, Jira, and Git
• Experience in requirement analysis, hardware/software design, software development and test, hardware/software integration
• Experience with Xilinx, Microsemi, Texas Instruments, and Intel product lines (SoC, CPU, DSP, etc)
• Experience working in bare-metal and multi-process environments
• Experience with rapid prototyping via auto-code generation (using tools such as MathWorks’ Embedded Coder, Simulink Coder, etc)
• Experience in selection of commercial-off-the-shelf and custom components and circuit/processing cards to support rapid prototyping and demonstration of system functionality, in accordance with functional system requirements
• Advanced engineering degrees
• Prior experience within the defense sector, as part of prime contracts or R&D efforts
• Hardware/system description language experience (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC) is desired, but not required
• Project lead experience
• Currently-held security clearance (DoD Secret, DoD TS)

• Experience with controls rapid prototyping via auto-code generation is desired
• Effective communication skills, initiative, and ability to function as a member of a diverse team
• Knowledge of industry-standard serial (RS-232/422/485, I2C, SPI) and high-speed protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, SRIO, etc.) and experience with fiber-optic communication systems is highly desired
• Ability to thoroughly document code and contribute to engineering reports for distribution to external stakeholders
• Detailed understanding of how to properly document test cases and create effective and focused testing plans
• Ability to prepare for, and engage in, software peer reviews by creating practical demonstrations of proposed solutions and demonstrating them to other members of the team
• Familiarity with Agile development
