FPGA Design/Development Engineer

Location: Owego, NY

Duration : Long term CTH

Industry: Aerospace & Defense

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced FPGA Design/Development Engineer to support an R&D program in Owego, NY. The selected engineer will contribute to the development, integration, simulation, testing, and implementation of complex ASIC and FPGA-based systems.

This role focuses primarily on FPGA design and development, including DSP, high-speed digital design, high-speed communications, SoC/embedded FPGA platforms, and hardware integration.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop FPGA/ASIC solutions for advanced R&D programs.
• Develop SystemVerilog/HDL-based RTL for FPGA platforms.
• Support DSP, high-speed digital, high-speed communication, and SoC implementations.
• Perform simulation, debugging, integration, and hardware testing.
• Work with Xilinx Vivado, Quartus, and/or Synopsys Synplify development tools.
• Use HDL simulators, waveform viewers, and coverage tools for design validation and debugging.
• Support HIL testing, JTAG, logic analyzers, and other FPGA test equipment.
• Develop scripts and automation to improve FPGA development workflows.
• Collaborate with Systems Architects, RF/Analog and Digital Circuit Designers, and ASIC/FPGA engineers.
• Support integration of embedded processors and COTS-based control platforms.
• Provide technical guidance and direction to junior engineers.
• Support development of complex systems incorporating high-speed networking technologies.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with FPGA design and RTL development.
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog.
• Experience with FPGA development tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, or Synopsys Synplify.
• Experience with high-speed digital design and/or DSP.
• Experience with HDL simulation, waveform analysis, and debugging.
• Familiarity with FPGA hardware integration and test.
• Experience with JTAG, logic analyzers, or HIL test environments.
• Experience with version control and configuration management systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with UVM.
• Proficiency in C programming.
• Experience with SoC/embedded processors implemented on FPGA platforms.
• Experience with high-speed communications or networking.
• Experience developing automation/scripts for FPGA workflows.
• ASIC development experience.
• Aerospace/defense or other complex embedded systems experience.

Important Note

This is an FPGA Design/Development position, not a pure FPGA Verification role. Candidates should have strong hands-on experience designing and developing FPGA/RTL solutions.
