Senior FPGA Engineer - (RF/Comm Systems/Simulink)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior FPGA Engineer - (RF/Comm Systems/Simulink) based in United States.
This role offers the opportunity to develop advanced FPGA-based processing solutions for communications and networking systems in a highly collaborative engineering environment. You will work across RF, DSP, firmware, software, and test disciplines to take embedded solutions from algorithms and requirements through architecture, implementation, verification, and production. The position combines hands-on FPGA development with system-level integration and lifecycle ownership. You will help establish robust workflows and engineering practices across HDL development, simulation, verification, and testing. The role also provides exposure to low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, SoMs, embedded processors, and complex communications hardware. It is well suited to an experienced engineer who enjoys solving challenging embedded systems problems and contributing to high-reliability technology.
Accountabilities
Collaborate with RF, DSP, firmware, software, FPGA, and test engineers to deliver robust embedded processing solutions for communications and networking systems.
Own FPGA firmware development from MATLAB and/or Simulink algorithms and requirements definition through architecture, design, implementation, verification, integration, support, and sustainment.
Develop and optimize FPGA implementations for low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs.
Establish and improve development workflows and engineering best practices covering HDL architecture, design, simulation, verification, and system-level testing.
Develop microprocessor interface control documents (ICDs) supporting FPGA integration with message and data-handling architectures.
Support hardware and embedded systems development from initial concept through production and ongoing system sustainment.
Test, troubleshoot, and integrate FPGA and embedded solutions across complex communications hardware and PCB assemblies.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or an equivalent technical discipline.
6+ years of experience designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA-based systems using VHDL or Verilog.
Demonstrated experience working with cross-functional hardware or embedded systems teams and taking firmware/software solutions from concept to production.
Experience using code-generation tools to translate MATLAB/Simulink algorithms into FPGA implementations, including at least 2 years of Simulink experience.
Proficiency in C and C++ and experience working with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Familiarity with MCU, CPU, FPGA, and related embedded technologies.
Experience with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB.
Familiarity with embedded or flight software architectures and development processes.
Ability to use standard electrical engineering test equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators, and experience testing PCB assemblies.
Strong cross-functional communication, analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Experience with wireless communications systems, computer networking, enhanced security measures, or AI-assisted software development is preferred.
Familiarity with high-reliability aerospace designs, aircraft system architectures, redundant systems, and relevant standards such as DO-254, DO-178C, DO-160, DO-311A, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, and MIL-STD-461 is a plus.
Experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex communications board designs is preferred.
Benefits
Base salary range of $166,000–$220,000 USD, depending on experience, education, training, critical skills, and business considerations.
Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
Comprehensive benefits package designed to support employees’ health, recovery, and overall well-being.
Opportunity to work on advanced FPGA, communications, networking, and embedded systems technology.
Cross-functional collaboration with experienced engineering teams across RF, DSP, firmware, software, FPGA, and testing.
Exposure to complex, high-reliability systems and challenging technical problems.
Remote work opportunity for a role supporting teams developing advanced technology.
