System/Software Engineer (Chip Development)
Description

 We are looking for a skilled Systems Engineer with hands-on experience in VHDL-based chip development to support the design, integration, and testing of complex digital systems. This role bridges the gap between high-level system requirements and detailed hardware implementation, contributing to end-to-end development of custom digital solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Analyze system requirements and translate them into hardware architecture and specifications.
     
  • Design, develop, and verify digital hardware using VHDL.
     
  • Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure seamless integration across platforms.
     
  • Conduct simulations, synthesis, and timing analysis to validate design functionality and performance.
     
  • Support hardware bring-up, debugging, and system-level testing.
Requirements

TS SCI w/ Polygraph Clearance Required


 

Required Qualifications:

  • Strong experience in digital system design using VHDL.
     
  • Demonstrated expertise in FPGA or ASIC development processes.
     
  • Familiarity with simulation tools such as ModelSim and synthesis tools (e.g., Synopsys, Xilinx Vivado).
     
  • Ability to work from system-level requirements to detailed design and implementation.
     

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with Verilog and mixed-language design environments.
     
  • Background in embedded systems or system-on-chip (SoC) design.
     
  • Familiarity with industry-standard protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
     
  • Exposure to system-level tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or scripting languages (Python, TCL).
