About the Role
Hidden Level is seeking a Firmware Design Engineer to develop FPGA-based solutions for advanced RF sensing systems. This role involves designing, simulating, and testing digital logic for data acquisition, signal processing, hardware control, and high-speed communications, collaborating with cross-functional teams to integrate solutions for lab and field testing.
Responsibilities
- Work in a small, dedicated team passionate about solving challenging problems and delivering results.
- Collaborate with Software, Systems, Mechanical, and RF engineers to design new and improve existing systems.
- Participate in collaborative, cross-functional design and code reviews.
- Aid in the creation and review of requirements and develop solutions to meet design goals.
- Architect and design digital logic solutions for AMD FPGA and SoC devices such as Zynq Ultrascale+ and Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoCs.
- Design and implement HDL components for data acquisition, digital signal processing, command and control, external hardware interfaces, and high-speed communication protocols like Ethernet and PCIe.
- Perform timing closure and create well-constrained, maintainable solutions that are easily extensible and employ efficient resource utilization.
- Integrate and test new designs in simulation, lab, and field environments.
- Use Python, TCL, and other scripting languages to automate and improve workflows.
Requirements
- Strong interest in FPGA development, digital design, and embedded systems.
- Analytical problem-solving skills and attention to technical detail.
- Ability to collaborate effectively within a cross-functional engineering team.
- Curiosity and willingness to learn new tools, technologies, and technical concepts.
- Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- Proficiency with VHDL and/or Verilog to configure FPGAs and other embedded systems.
- Understanding of synchronous digital design, such as finite state machines, pipelining, combinatorial and sequential logic.
- Ability to create testbenches and use simulation to verify RTL behavior.
- Ability to travel 10%.
- Only U.S. citizens can be considered.
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Security Clearance, if required.
