What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr. FPGA Engineer position at Continental Electronics Corporation?
We are looking for a senior level FPGA Engineer who will design, test, and integrate complex FPGA-based digital signal processing and control algorithms for state-of-the-art RF transmitter systems. This individual will work closely with hardware & software engineers throughout the program development and system installation.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Define and document functional requirements
Design, simulate and implement FPGA-based digital signal processing, e.g. baseband signal processing.
Design FPGA-based circuit card assemblies using schematic capture.
Develop hardware prototypes, debug and test using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, logic analyzers, etc.
Define and coordinate software tasks related to hardware-software interfaces within FPGA-based circuit card assemblies.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering with 8 or more years of relevant experience
Skilled at translating system level requirements to FPGA solution space
Proficiency with Xilinx FPGA design flows using both ISE and Vivado. VHDL design entry is essential.
Detailed experience with full FPGA design process, including simulation, synthesis, implementation, and timing closure
Recent experience with Xilinx 7 series devices
Expertise in the following areas of FPGA-based real-time DSP implementation : decimation / interpolation filters, fractional delay filters, asynchronous sample rate conversion, NCO, Hilbert transforms, FFT and waveform generation.
Experience with FPGA hardware interfaces related to RF sampling and waveform generation using A / D and D / A converters.
Experience using version control tools to manage states of files and collaboratively develop them with teammates
Experience designing re-usable circuits that can be utilized across multiple projects
Design and implement test fixtures including test plans for both chip level and board level environments
FPGA-based high-speed memory and bus interfaces, i.e. PCIe, DDR3.
Strong understanding of software and hardware interaction i.e. Linux host / PCIe endpoint.
Understanding of digital signal processing hardware architectures, and preferably FMC module interfacing to FPGA-based carrier card assemblies.
Familiarity with high-speed PCB board layout.
Excellent verbal and written skills to interact with project teams, management and customers.
Active DoD issued secret clearance.
Some travel will be required.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with RF system design, specifically high power and / or high-speed, time-based communication transmissions.
MATLAB / Simulink modeling of signal processing systems, at a minimum able to understand a high-level model and convert to an FPGA implementation
High level programming (C), and ability to write simple software applications for FPGA test purposes in Linux environment.
Practical understanding of time synchronization standards (e.g. IEEE-1588)
Keep a pulse on the job market with advanced job matching technology.
If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution.
Compensation Planning
Enhance your organization's compensation strategy with salary data sets that HR and team managers can use to pay your staff right.
