Job Details
Job#: 2071868
Job Description:
Apex Systems is seeking a FPGA/Firmware Software Engineer and primary job functions include designing, implementing, and testing firmware solutions targeting unique high-speed FPGAs and their supporting circuitry.
Responsibilities:
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary design team (electrical engineers, systems engineers, and scientists) to implement and integrate FPGA designs and sensor systems.
Analyze, design, simulate, and implement algorithms in hardware descriptor languages, HDL (VHDL, Verilog), based on MATLAB model(s).
Analyze, design, and implement HDL test benches in hardware description languages, HDL (VHDL, Verilog), for code validation and validation against models.
Analyze schematic diagrams for either custom or commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) electronic hardware involving high-speed digital and/or analog circuitry in associated FPGA-centric systems.
Conduct experimental tests on latest FPGA and SoC evaluation boards, evaluate results, and then develop specifications for selecting next-generation components for deliverable systems.
Work on problems of diverse scope, determining methods and procedures to be used on new assignments, and providing feedback and recommendations to other technical personnel.
Develop project test plans and test procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in the execution of both lab testing and field testing.
Develop and maintain requirements documents, functional specification documents, interface control documents, etc.
Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 8-12 years of relevant experience required; A Masters degree in Engineering discipline preferred
Experience with, and understanding of, FPGA system design and test required
Experience with embedded Software/Firmware design required
Experience with C/C++, MATLAB a must
Understanding of multiple high-speed serial communication standards and interfaces (e.g. Aurora, 10Ge, PCIe, DDR4/3/2/1, JESD204B)
Must be experienced with version control systems including SVN and Git.
Hands-on laboratory experience with instrumentation, test equipment, and debug/test methods required
Familiarity with modern Xilinx FPGA families and design tools (7-series FPGAs, Ultrascale+, Vivado, Xilinx IP cores) preferred
Experience working with SoC designs such as Zynq and Zynq Ultrascale+ including architecting and interfacing with peripherals, interrupts, and related bus architectures a plus
Experience developing and implementing FPGA-optimized versions of DSP algorithms (e.g., modulation/demodulation, PLLs, filters, image processing) desired
Experience with standard internal interfaces such as AXI4, AXI4-Stream, and AXI4-Lite preferred
Experience working with embedded operating systems (i.e., RTOS such as Green Hills) a plus
