Overview Continental Electronics Corporation is a leading provider of RF technologies and innovative solutions with over 75 years of proven performance. CEC has experienced significant recent growth and has established itself as the go-to supplier for a diversified product line supporting a wide spectrum of markets from commercial products, military customers, to space research laboratories.

The Senior FPGA Engineer will design, test, and integrate complex FPGA-based digital signal processing and control algorithms for state-of-the-art RF transmitter systems. This individual will work closely with hardware & software engineers throughout the program development and system installation.

Responsibilities

Define and document functional requirements

Design, simulate and implement FPGA-based digital signal processing, e.g. baseband signal processing.

Design FPGA-based circuit card assemblies using schematic capture.

Develop hardware prototypes, debug and test using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, logic analyzers, etc.

Define and coordinate software tasks related to hardware-software interfaces within FPGA-based circuit card assemblies.

Uphold the company’s core values of Integrity, Innovation, Accountability, and Teamwork.

Demonstrate behavior consistent with the company’s Code of Ethics and Conduct.

It is the responsibility of every employee to report to their manager or a member of senior management any quality problems or defects in order for corrective action to be implemented and to avoid recurrence of the problem.

Duties may be modified or assigned at any time to meet the needs of the business.

Qualifications

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering with 8 or more years of relevant experience

Skilled at translating system level requirements to FPGA solution space

Proficiency with Xilinx FPGA design flows using both ISE and Vivado. VHDL design entry is essential.

Detailed experience with full FPGA design process, including simulation, synthesis, implementation, and timing closure

Recent experience with Xilinx 7 series devices

Expertise in the following areas of FPGA-based real-time DSP implementation: decimation/interpolation filters, fractional delay filters, asynchronous sample rate conversion, NCO, Hilbert transforms, FFT and waveform generation.

Experience with FPGA hardware interfaces related to RF sampling and waveform generation using A/D and D/A converters.

Experience using version control tools to manage states of files and collaboratively develop them with teammates

Experience designing re-usable circuits that can be utilized across multiple projects

Design and implement test fixtures including test plans for both chip level and board level environments

FPGA-based high-speed memory and bus interfaces, e.g. PCIe, DDR3

Strong understanding of software and hardware interaction, e.g. Linux host/ PCIe endpoint

Understanding of digital signal processing hardware architectures, and preferably FMC module interfacing to FPGA-based carrier card assemblies.

Familiarity with high-speed PCB board layout.

Excellent verbal and written skills to interact with project teams, management and customers.

Must be US citizen and able to be approved for clearance within one year (per client requirements).

Some travel will be required.

Desirable Qualifications

Experience with RF system design, specifically high power and/or high-speed, time-based transmission.

Matlab/Simulink modeling of signal processing systems, at a minimum able to understand a high-level model and convert to an FPGA implementation

High level programming (C), and ability to write simple software applications for FPGA test purposes in a Linux environment.

Practical understanding of time synchronization standards (e.g. IEEE-1588)
