We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of todays mission and stay ahead of tomorrows threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

The Effector Digital Products (EDP) department develops electronics for our weapon system products. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing at Raytheon.

What You Will Do

In this role you will lead development of FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs commonly support the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces.

Designers collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architecture, modeling of algorithms, partitioning, code development, simulation, and place and route.

Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through production release. Design documentation and configuration management are required.

• Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production

• Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS) test system level requirements into FPGA requirements

• Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability

• Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage

• Help drive projects and execute program schedules on time and budget

• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and users guides

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, STEM or Computer Science

• A minimum of 5 years of experience to include the following:

  • FPGA/ASIC design (VHDL and/or Verilog coding) or FPGA/ASIC verification (SystemVerilog coding)

  • Xilinx or Microsemi devices and flow tools

  • Experience delivering FPGA/ASIC solutions to system level applications

  • Hands on experience with integration and debugging of FPGA/ASIC devices

• The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

An advanced degree in a related field may be substituted for two additional years of experience

Qualifications We Prefer

FPGA design experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Radar processing techniques

• Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors

• Embedded systems design using ARM, Microblaze, or Nios processors

• Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs)

• Constrained random verification in UVM using System Verilog

• Verification utilizing emulation platforms, such as Veloce
