Our client offers a supportive & unique culture, positive work environment, and flexible work schedules that empower its employees to achieve their maximum potential.

 

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Control systems are becoming more complex by the hour.  Systems that use to take entire boards are now handled with just a few programmable devices. This requires a new level of digital design engineer that is comfortable working with complex chips while understanding the effects of the entire circuitry.  With ever-increasing clock speeds, multi-layered boards, and enhanced chips the design possibilities are limitless.

QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED (SKILLS):

·         Bachelor's Degree or equivalent; minimum 3 years' relevant experience.

·         Experience with digital schematic design tools such as Mentor Graphics.

·         Experience with FPGA/PLD design including requirements development, preliminary design & verification plan, VHDL coding, verification including test procedure generation & execution, design release, and all associated reviews.

·         Experience with device place & route using manufacturer-specific tools including Microsemi/Actel Designer/Libero, Altera Quartus II, Xilinx ISE

·         Excellent verbal communication skills - must be able to communicate effectively in teleconferences with suppliers, clients and colleagues.

·         Must be a U.S. Citizen.

QUALIFICATIONS DESIRED:

·         Experience with High Density electronics design tools such as Mentor Xpedition IC Packaging Design, Cadence IC Package Design or equivalent.

·         Experience using ModelSim/Questa for design simulation and code coverage.

·         Experience with Document Configuration systems such as Windchill.

·         Experience with Configuration systems such as IBM Rational Synergy and/or Apache Subversion (SVN)
