Original job description

Description

Are you passionate about building impactful and field-forward solutions for our greatest national security challenges?

Do you have a passion for developing and implementing innovative high-speed digital signal processing algorithms in modern FPGAs and SoCs?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!

We are seeking a skilled engineer to join our multidisciplinary and highly collaborative team in the design, integration, and delivery of groundbreaking custom end-to-end RF communications systems built around software defined radios for the special operations and intelligence communities. These systems address challenging national security problems and enable planning and decision making in domains including active threat deterrence, signal intelligence, cyber operations, machine learning, image processing, and applied data analytics. Our systems range from large scale RF processing systems to small, low-power systems architected for specialized application. You'll join a multidisciplinary team of engineers who believe in fostering a collaborative work environment to solve complex problems.

As an Embedded Systems and FPGA Engineer, you will:

Collaborate with experienced engineers on development of software, firmware, and RTL to support wireless communication systems.
Take a sophisticated signal processing algorithm developed in Matlab and implement a real-time implementation on an embedded system.
Support integration, field testing, debugging, and troubleshooting, often under tight time constraints.
Engage with sponsors to understand and tackle their toughest problems.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

Have a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or another field relevant to the duties as described above.
Have development experience and proficiency in VHDL or Verilog, FPGA development tools (e.g. AMD Vivado), and simulation tools (e.g. Vivado, ModelSim).
Have developed software applications on ARM Embedded Linux Platforms (e.g. AMD Zynq, Raspberry Pi).
Are able to acquire a secret level security clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...

Have utilized build automation and CI/CD to automatically test, configure, build and deploy complex software applications and FPGA builds.
Demonstrate success with architecting and implementing solutions that span some combination of CPUs, FPGAs, GPUs, or COTS Software Defined Radios.
Have created and maintained board support packages (BSPs) using Openembedded/Yocto, Petalinux/EDF, or Buildroot for development boards or custom hardware.
