 Security Clearance Status: Active and existing security clearance required after day 1 Are you ready to explore the world of aerospace and defense? Do you want to learn from and collaborate with some of the greatest minds in the industry? At RTX, our internships, co-ops and full-time careers provide an exceptional foundation to work on complex problems, advance your skills and create a safer, more connected world. Discover opportunities to make a difference at RTX. The Effector Guidance Electronics (EGE) department develops electronics for weapon system products. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing at Raytheon.
What You Will Do
In this role as a FPGA Electrical Engineer I , you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including AMD, Altera, and Microchip. Designs commonly support the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. Designers collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architecture, modeling of algorithms, partitioning, code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed tests and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through production release. Design documentation and configuration management are required.
Qualification
You Must Have: Masters in Electrical Engineer or Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) or related degree Experience or Coursework in Digital Design and HDL coding targeting configurable logic devices Qualifications We Prefer Digital Design Knowledge & Radar/Image processing techniques Experience in delivering FPGA solutions to system level applications Experience in one or more brands of (Altera, Lattice, Microchip, AMD) FPGA devices and associated tools Experience with integration and debug of electronics using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, etc. Experience with FPGA timing constraints and timing closure Experience with digital simulation such as Questa, RivieraPro or similar tools Experience with Python or C programming Image processing techniques for visual and infrared sensors Gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs) Experience with embedded processor and System on a Chip development for FPGA devices Familiarity with the Linux environment and commands FPGA design experience using a Linux-based development environment highly desired Knowledge of git and GitHub Knowledge of industry standard interfaces and protocols such as AXI, PCIe, SPI, I2C, etc.
