About the role
- Support proposal efforts in the estimation and planning of end-to-end FPGA development.
- Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA requirements and specifications.
- Collaborate with RF engineers to integrate FPGA designs with RF front-end components and ensure seamless system performance.
- Develop and optimize FPGA designs for RF communication systems, including filtering, mixing, signal conversion, and error correction coding.
- Design, implement, and verify FPGA-based digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for modulation and demodulation.
- Assist in architecting solutions against requirements and implement those solutions in various FPGA technologies or platforms.
- Follow, enforce, and refine consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs, including peer reviews.
- Synthesize designs to targeted technologies and perform constraint driven place and route and analysis.
- Generate design review and deliverable documentation including review packages, block diagrams, interface control documents, and test plans/procedures.
- Ensure FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
Requirements
