Sr. Electrical Engineer II / Principal Electrical Engineer - FPGA Secure Design - Military veterans preferred

Missile Systems (MS) is seeking technical leaders that are passionate about the design and application of configurable logic technologies to the development of world-class defense solutions and secure protection of the solutions. MS is seeking a Senior Engineers to help expand the capabilities, quality, and proficiency of FPGA and ASIC design as it pertains to design security within MS and the company as a whole. This position requires an established depth of expertise in secure processing subsystems. The position also requires established depth in FPGAs, ASICs, and systems on chips (SOCs) design, and a complimentary breadth of experience in adjacent disciplines: electronics design, software design, systems engineering, and signal processing.

The candidate shall have demonstrated leadership and visionary thinking throughout the full design cycle of implementing system security layers based on ASIC and FPGA technologies that are deployed on advanced modular electronic systems. The full design cycle activities includes but is not limited to assessing capabilities of the system, mission planning, defining required security layers for the system, performing trade studies and architecting layers of the security boundaries, designing layers and modules of the security applications, verifying the security layers and validating the security layers with the appropriate DOD organizations, and supporting the security layers into production.

The Senior Engineer will be expected to support multiple programs in the proposal, architecture and design phases to insure the optimal application of configurable logic technologies, coordinating efforts across design disciplines, and organizational boundaries. This coordination will include the oversight of those designs through formal and informal reviews, the application of model-based engineering, and process improvements. The Senior Engineer will be a focal point for ASIC and FPGA security design expertise, often relied upon by programs to provide specific complex solutions and analysis, as well as having a broad responsibility to help define technology road maps, propose IRAD projects and set functional priorities to realize those road maps.

In addition to advancing the state of the art in FPGA and ASIC security design and processes, the Senior Engineer is expected to distribute their expertise through formal and informal mentoring, reviews, educational presentations, and wiki articles.

Please Note: This position can be a Sr. Electrical Engineer II or Principal Electrical Engineer based on the candidate's qualifications as they relate to the skills, experience and responsibility requirements for the position.
