About the role

  • Chipton-Ross is seeking an ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer for a hybrid contract opportunity in Grand Prairie, TX. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE): • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related STEM field from an accredited university; Master's degree preferred • Minimum 3 years of professional experience with
  • FPGA design and simulation verification or a related discipline • Proficiency in HDL programming with VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog • Experience with Xilinx/AMD toolsets (Vivado, Vitis, Vitis HLS) and UltraScale design methodology • Experience with FPGA simulation tools such as Synopsys VCS • Strong understanding of digital design principles,

Responsibilities

  • As the Senior ASIC & FPGA Design Engineer you will act as a technical leader on one or more defense programs, shaping the architecture, verification and integration of advanced FPGA based hardware.
  • You will translate system level performance, safety and reliability requirements into robust programmable logic designs, while collaborating with cross functional engineers to keep the program on schedule and on budget.
  • Define architecture and design specifications for ASIC/FPGA components; write clean, maintainable RTL (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog) that meets performance, power and reliability goals.
  • Develop synthesis, place and route and timing closure strategies to guarantee deterministic operation on target devices.
  • Create comprehensive test plans, simulation models and verification environments (UVM, SystemC, Python based testbenches) to validate functional correctness and timing margins.
  • Lead hardware in the loop (HIL) testing, board level debugging and integration with subsystem hardware.
  • Conduct timing analysis, power budgeting and resource utilization studies to optimize device selection and FPGA utilization.
  • Manage configuration control using GitLab (or equivalent), maintain version controlled repositories and ensure full traceability of all artifacts.
  • Produce complete design documentation-specifications, test plans, verification reports and release packages-that complies with aerospace standards.
  • Collaborate with systems, software, hardware, mechanical, test, manufacturing and quality teams to guarantee seamless integration and milestone compliance.
