We are seeking a Staff (Senior) Level Firmware Engineer who will perform complex FPGA firmware architecture and/or custom digital board design. Designs will include digital signal processing, messaging, control and high-speed communications. Devices will include FPGAs from either Xilinx, Intel, or Microsemi. In this role you may be interfacing with program leadership and teammates on a regular basis. The Senior Level Firmware Engineer focuses on design and development, but may also have a role estimating, breaking down and planning work for their firmware team. An example could be taking a high DSP algorithm for a radar system and breaking it into small pieces that multiple less experienced engineers may further refine. The Senior Level Firmware Engineer will then work through the design and development of this algorithm.
