Job Description
We are looking for a skilled Systems Engineer with hands-on experience in VHDL-based chip development to support the design, integration, and testing of complex digital systems. This role bridges the gap between high-level system requirements and detailed hardware implementation, contributing to end-to-end development of custom digital solutions. Key Responsibilities: * Analyze system requirements and translate them into hardware architecture and specifications.
* Design, develop, and verify digital hardware using VHDL.
* Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure seamless integration across platforms.
* Conduct simulations, synthesis, and timing analysis to validate design functionality and performance.
* Support hardware bring-up, debugging, and system-level testing. Requirements TS SCI w/ Polygraph Clearance Required Required Qualifications: * Strong experience in digital system design using VHDL.
* Demonstrated expertise in FPGA or ASIC development processes.
* Familiarity with simulation tools such as ModelSim and synthesis tools (e.g., Synopsys, Xilinx Vivado).
* Ability to work from system-level requirements to detailed design and implementation.
Preferred Qualifications: * Experience with Verilog and mixed-language design environments.
* Background in embedded systems or system-on-chip (SoC) design.
* Familiarity with industry-standard protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
* Exposure to system-level tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or scripting languages (Python, TCL).
