Job Description
FPGA Design Engineer
Quest Defense
• Develop and support FPGA designs using VHDL for safety-critical aerospace applications. • Implement and modify RTL designs supporting communication protocols, memory interfaces, data management, processor interfaces, and related digital functions. • Perform FPGA design activities including simulation, synthesis, place and route support, timing closure, pin-out definition, and design constraint development. • Troubleshoot RTL design issues using simulation environments, debug tools, and structured root cause analysis. • Support I/O timing analysis and resolve timing-related design challenges. • Develop and maintain DO-254 related documentation, including requirements, design descriptions, design specifications, traceability documentation, and supporting verification artifacts. • Collaborate with systems, hardware, verification, and project engineering teams to ensure design intent, requirements, and implementation remain aligned.
Job Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of relevant FPGA design experience in aerospace, defense, avionics, or another safety-critical engineering environment.
- Strong hands-on experience developing FPGA designs using VHDL.
- Experience with RTL design, simulation, synthesis, implementation, place and route, and timing closure.
- Ability to implement and support FPGA functions related to communication protocols, memory interfaces, data management, processor interfaces, or similar digital design applications.
- Experience developing and applying FPGA design constraints, pin-out assignments, routing considerations, and I/O timing analysis.
- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot RTL design flaws using simulation environments and structured debug/root cause analysis methods.
- Working knowledge of digital systems, FPGA design methodologies, testing practices, and hardware/software or system-level integration.
- Prior experience working within a DO-254 development environment.
- Experience developing or supporting DO-254 documentation, including requirements, design descriptions, design specifications, and traceability documentation.
- Familiarity with requirements-based design practices in safety-critical or regulated development environments.
Benefits
- Competitive pay, comprehensive medical/dental/life and disability coverage, 401(k) with employer match, professional development support, and a flexible, friendly workplace.
