As a Principal Digital Hardware Engineer at , you will play a crucial role in the architecture of the compute and signal processing subsystems of cutting-edge radar and electronic warfare systems. You will devise, architect, design, bring-up, and integrate high-end compute and signal processing circuit cards and work with the latest processors, FPGAs, memories, and converters. You will own the digital hardware from concept through production transition. As a principal engineer, you will mentor colleagues and review the work of others. As a technical leader, you will be part of a diverse, cross-functional team of hardware, FPGA, systems, and software engineers creating innovative products that meet the demands of our clients and stay at the cutting-edge of technological advancements in digital design.

What You'll Do

• Architect high-end compute, signal processing, analog-to-digital conversion, digital-to-analog conversion, and control for cutting-edge radar and electronic warfare systems
• Serve as a subject matter expert in digital hardware within the organization
• Design and develop digital circuit cards with FPGAs (Xilinx, Intel, Microchip), novel processors, high-speed memory, data links, and high-bandwidth converters
• Design and schematic capture of custom digital circuit boards
• Perform board-level and system-level integration and test of new designs
• Support transition of boards and systems to production
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, fostering their growth and development in digital hardware
• Review and provide feedback on circuit card designs by other digital hardware engineers
• Develop test and debug logic for FPGAs (VHDL, Verilog, Python, etc.)
• Keepup-to-date with the latest hardware development tools, technologies, and methods
• Generate quick turn prototypes to de-risk key functionality and to support customer demos

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline with 12+ years of experience OR Master's degree with 10+ years of experience
• Deep Understanding of real-time compute and signal processing hardware solutions
• Proficiency with schematic capture tools (e.g. Altium)
• Proficiency with test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, temp chambers, shield rooms, etc.) and basic soldering skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, with excellent communication skills
• Must be U.S. citizen

Ways to Stand Out

• Experience developing control and signal processing algorithms in FPGAs
• Experience with radars or electronic warfare systems
• Experience interfacing with RF circuitry
• Experience with SPICE and Signal Integrity board level simulations
• Experience with VPX and SOSA circuit card standards
• Experience implementing low-level C/C++ for microcontrollers and embedded processors
