Seeking an FPGA design Senior Electrical Engineer II to work as a resident engineer at the customer site (Draper Lab located in Cambridge, MA). The primary responsibilities will be the design and development of custom PCB based solutions, using FPGAs and Embedded System on Chip (SoC) devices. As an FPGA / digital design engineer you will be responsible for designing, modeling, simulating, integrating, and testing new FGPA based designs targeting high-speed communications and embedded applications. This job will require you to be familiar with all aspects of the FPGA design process including but not limited to design, simulation, build, implementation, test and integration using FPGA development environments and industry standard development flows using all major FPGA vendors such as Xilinx, Intel (Altera) or Microsemi (Actel).

You will be joining a diverse project team (circuit card designers, systems engineers, and software engineers) responsible for the design, development, and integration of high speed digital test equipment and PCB based test solutions for systems, sub-systems, and components of the Trident Program within Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems (SAS). A qualified candidate will be expected to interpret system requirements, technical data packages, and/or test requirements and translate them into new FPGA based test system designs which may include environmental testing, fault detection / fault isolation, and design for test analysis.

Required Skills:

• Minimum 6+ years’ experience with digital design, with a solid understanding and experience of the FPGA development environments and FPGA development tool flows
• At least four years of experience designing, implementing, testing, debugging, and delivering digital electronics including, but not limited to, digital units, modules, circuit cards, FPGAs, or ASICs.
• At least two years of engineering leadership experience as Responsible Engineering Authority, team lead, or Integrated Product Team Lead of digital circuit card / module / unit.
• Experience in requirements allocation and generation
• Experience designing high speed interfaces for memories and SERDES channels
• Experience designing circuit cards with large FPGAs and Processors
• Familiarity with circuit card assembly (CCA) and final assembly and test manufacturing processes
• Ability to handle a dynamic environment and to coordinate actions, fast learner. Demonstrates initiative, ability to work independently towards program goals.
• Ability to work as part of a multi-disciplined team, providing technical and schedule status to management, customers and fellow team members.
