Description

  • Design and verify preliminary FPGA logic for overspeed protection functions based on system-level requirements and architecture.
  • Design and verify preliminary FPGA logic for ARINC 429 communication, extending existing designs where needed.
  • Develop and execute simulation-based verification plans to validate FPGA logic before hardware integration.
  • Validate digital inputs and outputs, including the microprocessor interface on both FPGA designs.
  • Create complete pin allocation documentation to support hardware integration.
  • Collaborate with systems engineers to translate preliminary requirements into implementable firmware logic.
  • Participate in design reviews, verification reviews, and required technical documentation activities.
  • Support FPGA family and device sizing selection with systems and hardware teams.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in FPGA firmware design and verification for embedded or avionics applications.
  • Proficiency in VHDL or Verilog and RTL design methodology.
  • Experience with Microchip/Microsemi Libero SoC, or equivalent FPGA EDA tools such as Vivado or Quartus with ability to transition.
  • Familiarity with ARINC 429 protocol, including transmit/receive channel architecture, word structure, and timing requirements.
  • Understanding of digital I/O interfacing, microprocessor bus interfaces, and pin allocation methodology.
  • Experience developing and executing simulation-based verification using ModelSim or equivalent.
  • Ability to work independently from system-level requirements and architecture documents to implement firmware logic.
  • Experience with DO-254 design assurance processes for airborne electronic hardware is preferred.
  • Familiarity with overspeed protection logic or other safety-critical FPGA functions in aerospace or defense applications is preferred.
  • Experience with existing ARINC 429 IP cores and integration into custom FPGA designs is preferred.
  • Static timing analysis using SmartTime or equivalent tools is preferred.
  • Background in requirements traceability and configuration management in a regulated development environment is preferred.
  • Knowledge of Microchip PolarFire or SmartFusion2 device families is preferred.

Benefits

  • Fully remote role.
  • Salary range of $135,000-$140,000 per year.
  • Workstation provided on-site.
  • Opportunity to work on challenging aerospace and safety-critical engineering programs.
