Description

At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work - and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.

We are seeking talented FPGA Design Engineers to join our growing team in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

The Multidomain Sensing, Targeting, and Survivability Division (MSTS), located in the Northwest Chicago suburbs, develops operational Electronic Warfare (EW) and targeting systems that provide situational awareness, self-protection, and offensive electronic attack capability to platforms across the spectrum from visible light IR to millimeter wave RF. By joining us, you’ll work on projects that help safeguard our nation related to land forces, rotary wing survivability systems, international and U.S. military electronic warfare systems, communications systems, missile warning systems and sensors, infrared counter-measure systems (IRCM), automatic test equipment, modeling and simulation, and situational awareness programs.

As an FPGA Design Engineer, you will join a diverse, high-performing team responsible for the end-to-end development of advanced RF and EO/IR products. You will contribute across the FPGA development lifecycle, including requirements analysis and refinement, system and FPGA architecture, RTL design and coding, testbench development, verification, synthesis, implementation, timing closure, hardware integration, qualification, production support, and troubleshooting.

You will develop FPGA-based digital subsystems integrated into circuit card assemblies, working closely with systems, software, hardware, and integration & test engineers. Designs utilize FPGA technologies from major vendors including AMD Xilinx, Intel, and support high-speed interfaces, RF and EO/IR signal-processing chains, controls, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces.

This position will be full-time and on-site at our Rolling Meadows, IL. location.

The qualifications for the FPGA Design Engineer are below.

Basic Qualifications for FPGA Design Engineer

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline with a minimum of 2 years of relevant FPGA/ASIC design experience; or a master’s degree with relevant experience.
Solid understanding of VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog for RTL design and verification.
Experience developing synchronous RTL, including state machines, control logic, data paths, clocks, and resets.
Experience developing or modifying RTL testbenches and debugging simulation failures.
Familiarity with the overall FPGA development flow, including RTL simulation, synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and generation of FPGA programming files.
Experience with at least one major FPGA device architecture and its associated development toolchain, such as AMD Xilinx devices with Vivado or Intel FPGA devices with Quartus.
Experience with FPGA electronic design automation tools, such as ModelSim/QuestaSim, Synplify, Vivado, Quartus, SOPC Builder/Qsys/Platform Designer, or DSP Builder.
Experience with scripting or high-level programming languages, such as MATLAB, Python, or C/C++.
Exposure to developing engineering requirements, design specifications, test specifications, or other controlled technical documentation.
Ability to complete defined technical assignments with moderate guidance, communicate technical status and blockers proactively, incorporate peer-review feedback, and work effectively across engineering disciplines.
U.S. citizenship.
Must have interim secret clearance prior to starting. Once started, must have the ability to obtain and maintain a secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

Current or active Secret or Top Secret clearance with SCI/SAP eligibility.
Academic or practical experience with RF, EO/IR, communications, or digital signal-processing concepts, including I/Q representation, sampling, filtering, or frequency-domain analysis.
Experience implementing digital signal-processing or image-processing functions in FPGA logic.
Experience with high-speed interfaces such as AXI, PCIe, Aurora, JESD, or 10G/25G/40G+ Ethernet.
Experience developing and integrating FPGA/software interfaces, register maps, and controls.
Experience with MATLAB or Simulink for algorithm modeling, simulation, or FPGA implementation support.
Familiarity with clock-domain crossings, reset-domain crossings, and timing constraints.
Experience integrating or testing FPGA designs in a laboratory environment using signal generators, logic analyzers, digital oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, or embedded FPGA debug tools such as Vivado ILA or Intel SignalTap.
Experience using SystemVerilog/UVM, cocotb, or other structured verification frameworks.
Familiarity with configuration-management, requirements, planning, and review tools such as Git, SVN, ClearCase, DOORS, Jira, Rally, or ClearQuest.
Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work independently on defined assignments, seek feedback, and apply feedback to improve technical work.
Strong sense of ownership and responsibility for technical deliverables.
Demonstrated adaptability, creativity, collaboration, and initiative, with enthusiasm for solving challenging problems and contributing to the advancement of technologies.
