What are the responsibilities and job description for the Digital design Engineer position at Minuteman Group?
Job Title : Digital Design Engineer (onsite)
Location : Lexington MA
Job Type : W2 Contract
Background :
The Optical Communications Technology Group develops advanced laser communications technology for many applications. Research in optical switching and optical logic supports the development of future ultrahighspeed alloptical routing. Research in superconducting singlephotoncounting detectors novel modulation formats and coding supports the development of future highdatarate interplanetary laser communications links. These technologies support the most sensitive optical communications links ever developed enabling communication of several bits per detected photon across vast distances.
Must Have :
Pro cient in Verilog SystemVerilog VHDL and C.
Ability to take an FPGA from concept to a device that meets all functional and timing requirements. This would also include generating system level test benches to verify FPGA performance functionality and error recovery using Mentor Questa Logic Simulator.
Experience with the Zynq Ultrascale RFSoC platform.
Experience coding across multiple clock domains.
Experience coding triplemode redundancy for radiation resistance.
Familiarity with the digital processing architecture for lasercom waveform standards
Candidate must have demonstrated knowledge of and delivered products involving :
- 1) the Xilinx Virtex 5 SIRF FPGA;
- 2) Xilinx ISE 13.2 with SIRF Overlay;
- 3) Synopsys Synplicity targeting the Virtex 5 SIRF;
- 4) Code design for radiationhardened operation of the Xilinx Virtex 5 SIRF;
- 5) Radiationhardened CPUs;
- 6) Analog to digital converters (ADCs) and digital to analog converters (DACs);
- 7) SPI I2C SpaceWire and Ethernet protocols;
- 8) Forward error correction including ReedSolomon and DVBS2;
- 9) CoaXPress and CameraLink camera interfaces;
10) Differential phaseshift keying (DPSK) and pulse position modulation (PPM) optical modulation techniques; and
11) Control loops for synchronization of quantumentangled sources.
Preferred Skills :
Ability to communicate e ectively with other team members. Ability to design and program a Xilinx MicroBlaze embedded processor. Familiar with Xilinx Vivado and Vivado SDK. Experience with PCIe CoaXpress DVBS2 Error Correction SCPPM FEC and PPM modulation and demodulation is also desired.
