Job Title: Senior Specialist, FPGA Digital Design Engineer
Job Location: Bristol, PA
Pay rate range: $75 – $78.82/hr on W2(All Inclusive)
Duration: 12+ Months (Temp to direct hire)
Job Schedule: 9/80

Job Description:
The FPGA Digital Design Engineer supports the development of field programmable gate array (FPGA) firmware for airborne telemetry, radio frequency (RF), secure communications, and embedded flight safety systems developed at client TRF Bristol site. This role contributes to the design, implementation, verification, and integration of advanced digital telemetry, signal processing, instrumentation, and encryption functions used in ruggedized mission critical embedded hardware. The position works closely with electrical, RF, systems, and software engineering teams to translate system level requirements into FPGA architecture and very high speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL) implementations.
Essential Functions:

Support estimation, planning, and scheduling of FPGA development activities across the full product lifecycle.
Translate system and circuit card level requirements into FPGA requirements, specifications, and architectures.
Implement FPGA designs in VHDL, ensuring proper synthesis, timing closure, constraint management, resource efficiency, and platform specific optimization.
Verify FPGA functionality through simulation, then integrate and test designs on targeted circuit card assemblies in airborne and ruggedized environments.
Develop digital signal processing and communication oriented FPGA functions such as filtering, mixing, signal conversion, encoding, and error correction.
Follow, apply, and refine disciplined firmware development processes, peer reviews, and documentation practices.
Generate clear technical documentation including design review materials, block diagrams, interface documents, and test plans and procedures.
Collaborate closely with RF, systems, electrical, and software engineers to ensure clean digital to RF and digital to system integration.
Prepare FPGA designs for production readiness by supporting qualification, environmental testing, and performance validation.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of six years of relevant engineering experience; or a graduate degree and a minimum of four years of related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, a minimum of ten years of related engineering experience.
Minimum four years of experience with VHDL development, FPGA design methodologies, and FPGA toolchains.
Experience implementing FPGA designs with demanding timing, routing, or resource constraints.
Experience integrating FPGA designs onto circuit card assemblies and using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators.
Experience with at least one major FPGA vendor platform such as AMD (Xilinx), Intel (Altera), or Microchip (Microsemi).
Preferred Additional Skills:
Experience designing FPGA based hardware for ruggedized airborne, secure communications, telemetry, or RF applications.
Experience verifying FPGA implementations against MATLAB or Simulink system level models.
Experience developing FPGA based digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for modulation, demodulation, filtering, or signal conversion.
Experience with multiple FPGA toolsets (Vivado, Quartus, Libero) and embedded system integration.
Experience supporting qualification, environmental testing, and performance validation for high reliability hardware.
Experience with secure communications or encryption related FPGA processing.
Familiarity with embedded microcontrollers or mixed FPGA processor architectures.
