Preferred Qualifications and Skills

• Excellent technical knowledge of FPGA architecture and development across multiple vendors including AMD-Xilinx, Altera, Microchip, and Lattice
• Experience developing signal processing solutions in FPGAs including modeling in Matlab and code generation via Simulink
• Experience using testbenches/simulators/test pattern generation, assertion-based verification, model checking, or formal Boolean logic equivalence checking
• Experience using laboratory equipment for hardware solution test and validation
• Experience developing for FPGAs in Linux environments
• Experience delivering high-quality products in a large-scale commercial hardware development environment
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in a geographically distributed team

Location - Blacksburg, VA, Atlanta, GA, or Beavercreek, OH
