At Raytheon Missiles & Defense, you have the opportunity to try new things and make a bigger difference across a broader end-to-end solution, a richer technology and product set, an expanded range of disciplines, a growing global footprint and a more diverse team of colleagues and customers.

Job Summary:

The Digital, RF, and Power (DRP) Products Team is seeking an Electrical Engineer with expertise in design of FPGA-based systems.

In this role, you will develop FPGA designs for radar and missile applications using device families from Xilinx, Intel (formerly Altera), Lattice, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. FPGA designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to determine and develop requirements, architect new parts, build collaborative models of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.

We value diverse skills and experience, so don’t hold back. Your qualification could add tremendous value to our team. Our customers come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Help drive projects and execute to program schedules on time and budget
• May lead small teams and mentor junior engineers
• Design and deliver FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production
• Work with other disciplines including systems, hardware, software engineers, and program management to ensure product success
• Demonstrate the ability to architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
• Translate system level requirements into FPGA requirements
• Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability
• Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage
• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user’s guides
• Support and/or lead internal and external technical reviews
• Up to 10% travel may be required to interact with internal/external customers and leadership team members

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and 8 years of prior, relevant engineering experience OR an Advanced STEM degree and 5 years of prior, relevant engineering experience.
• Experience with digital design and VHDL coding
• Experience in Xilinx, Intel, or Microsemi devices and flow tools
• Experience in delivering FPGA solutions to system level applications
• Hands-on experience with integration and debug
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Value:

• Experience in Xilinx programmable devices or Intel programmable devices
• Experience using VHDL simulation tools such as Questasim
• Experience using FPGA synthesis, place & route, and timing closure tools including Synplify, Xilinx Vivado, and Intel Quartus Pro
• Proficiency in Linux
• Working knowledge of C/C++ and/or in computer scripting language such as Shell/Perl/Python a plus
• Experience with High Level Synthesis (HLS)
• Competencies to include FPGA design experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • Radar processing techniques
  • Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors
  • Embedded systems design using FPGA SoC or soft processors
  • Common computer hardware interface and data protocols such as RS-422, USB, PCIe, etc.
  • Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs)
  • Constrained random verification in UVM using System Verilog
  • Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce

What We Offer:

Whether you’re just starting out on your career journey or are an experienced professional, we offer a robust total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, retirement and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs. Some of the superior benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance and child/adult backup care.

Employee Referral Award Eligibility: Only employees currently within RMD and RI&S have the potential to receive a Referral Award for submitting a referral to RMD and RI&S roles. ALL eligibility requirements must be met (see guidelines) to receive the Referral Awarding.

Clearance Information: This position requires the eligibility to obtain a security clearance. The Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO), an agency of the Department of Defense, handles and adjudicates the security clearance process. More information about Security Clearances can be found on the US Department of State government website here: https://www.state.gov/m/ds/clearances/c10978.htm
