FPGA DSP Firmware Design Engineer
The Electronic Warfare (EW) Division of Leidos is looking for a FPGA DSP Firmware Engineer to lead a design team to design, develop, simulate, and integrate challenging DSP FPGA designs and RF sensor systems based on given program requirements.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in technical team leadership for firmware design, the ability to implement MATLAB algorithms in the FPGA and incorporate client feedback into firmware revisions.
Primary ResponsibilitiesLead a firmware design team to design, integrate and test challenging DSP FPGA designs for EW sensor systems.
Evaluate a project s firmware needs, designing a firmware solution to meet project needs and be able to communicate that design to the program leadership.
Develop and implement new firmware, debug firmware to ensure it functions properly, evaluate performance and troubleshoot as needed.
Incorporate client feedback into firmware revisions, manage budgetary and time constraints.
Keep the firmware team up-to-date on technological developments and industry best practices.
Lead the design and development of innovative reconfigurable Software-Defined Radio (SDR) architectures, Sensor Systems, Data Acquisition, from Air/Space to Ground deployments for government agenciesAnalyze schematic diagrams for high-speed digital and/or analog circuitry in associated FPGA-centric systems.
Develop and maintain requirements documents, engineering drawings and configuration management policies for FPGA project hierarchy.
Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and field testing.
Conduct experimental tests on latest FPGA and SoC evaluation boards, evaluate results, and then develop specifications for selecting next-generation components for deliverable systems.
Some travel and work at remote sites for limited time periods may be occasionally required.
Provide status reports to project managers and/or division production manager as required.
