I have an immediate need for multiple Firmware Engineers and FPGA/Digital Design Engineers for a long term contract opportunities (1-3+ years) in the greater Binghamton, NY area. Both job descriptions are listed below for you to review and all work must be performed on site. The FPGA/Digital Design Engineers will develop and support FPGA/CPLD designs through all phases of design and system integration for high-reliability embedded aerospace and ground based vehicle systems applications. He/she will perform activities such as requirements generation, design, RTL-synthesis, test bench development and design simulation, static timing and power analysis, and requirements based design verification. Other activities include prototype evaluation, design-to-cost tradeoffs, design reviews, qualification test support, system integration support, production and obsolescence support tasks. He/she will also need to maintain the desire to stay current in the continuously developing field and to expand knowledge base and skills in FPGA design and digital hardware engineering.

• BS/AS Degree with a minimum of 3-5+ years of related experience with FPGA/CPLD design
• Circuit design experience with the demonstrated ability to design VHDL-based FPGAs and CPLDs.
• Comprehensive knowledge of digital electronic devices and circuit design principles and experience using design/analysis tools, such as Timing Designer and Hyperlynx.
• Hands-on hardware build, test and integration experience.
• Familiarity with FPGA integration into digital circuit card designs to ensure electrical integrity of FPGA design in embedded applications.
• Design experience with Microprocessor/Microcontroller interfaces such as I2C, SPI, CAN, memory interfaces such as SDRAM controllers, Flash, SRAM; serial interfaces (MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429, RS422, RS485, etc.) and FPGA design using Microsemi, Xilinx, Lattice, Altera, etc.
• Familiarity with RTCA/DO-254 hardware design processes
• Experience with Matlab and Simulink for auto-generation of FPGA code
• Design tools such as Synplify and ModelSim (preferred, not required)
