Raytheon

Organization Description:

Within the Electrical Products Team (EPT), you will be a part of providing a key role within the Missiles and Defense Engineering organization by providing the electronics for the weapon system products. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our team helps mold the requirements and bring concepts to life. Our products are deployed all over the world, reach the exoatmospheric environments and into space. The Configurable Digital Logic (CDL) Products Department is responsible for the architecture, design and documentation of deliverable firmware and FPGA embedded processing at RTX. We offer competitive salaries and benefits, including profit sharing and a comprehensive relocation package. Learn more about our requirements and apply today!

Job Description:

The Electrical Engineer will develop FPGA designs in VHDL for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Microsemi (Actel), Intel (Altera) andLattice designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: Radiation-Hard and Radiation-Tolerant, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, and embedded processing. Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, partition and perform code development, simulation, place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required

U.S. Citizenship status is required as this position will need a U.S. DoD Security Clearance within 1 year of start date..

Please note this position can be a Sr. Electrical Engineer II or Principal Electrical Engineer I depending on the candidate’s skills and experience.

Job Responsibilities:

• Independently drive projects and execute to program schedules on time and budget
• Lead small teams and mentor junior engineers
• Demonstrate self-motivation, with little supervision required
• Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production
• Work cooperatively with systems, hardware, software engineers, and program management to ensure product success
• Demonstrate the ability to architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
• Translate system level requirements into FPGA requirements
• Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability
• Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage
• Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user’s guides
• Support internal and external technical reviews
