Advanced FPGA & ASIC Engineer

We are hiring an Advanced FPGA & ASIC Engineer with strong RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) experience to support high-performance hardware development.

About the Company

Our client is a leading provider of advanced engineering solutions supporting mission-critical programs across defense, aerospace, and high-performance computing environments. Their teams focus on developing cutting-edge hardware and integrated systems for complex, high-reliability applications.

The organization is known for delivering challenging, hands-on engineering work and partnering with top-tier technical teams across the full system lifecycle.

About the Role

This is a 12-month contract with strong potential for extension.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and verify both FPGA and ASIC solutions
• Define architecture and requirements
• Perform RTL design and simulation (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• Execute synthesis, place & route, and timing analysis
• Support system integration, validation, and testing
• Support FPGA prototyping and hardware validation of ASIC designs
• Develop and execute simulation and test plans
• Collaborate across hardware, software, and systems engineering teams
• Evaluate performance, power, and scalability tradeoffs
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies and processes

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred)
• Hands-on experience in BOTH FPGA and ASIC design across the full development lifecycle

Required Skills

• Strong expertise in:
• RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• FPGA development and debugging
• ASIC design flows (e.g., synthesis, timing, validation)
• Experience with tools such as Vivado, QuestaSim, or similar
• Solid understanding of digital design, timing analysis, and hardware optimization
• Experience working in hardware-centric environments (not software-only roles)

Preferred Skills

• ASIC tapeout or silicon validation
• FPGA prototyping to support ASIC development
• High-speed interfaces (SERDES, SPI, I2C, AXI)
• Background in defense, aerospace, or high-reliability systems
• Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams

Duration: 12-month contract (likely extension)

Schedule: Full-time, onsite
