SAIC is seeking an experienced FPGA/Embedded-Systems Engineer to design, verify, and integrate advanced digital processing architectures. The ideal candidate will possess strong FPGA development experience using VHDL and Verilog, along with embedded software skills and a deep understanding of digital signal processing, timing closure, and Linux-based workflows. This role requires the ability to solve complex technical problems and deliver robust production-ready designs. Key Responsibilities: • Develop FPGA architectures using VHDL-2019, VHDL-2008, VHDL, and basic Verilog as required. • Design solutions targeting Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC devices; experience with Versal devices is a strong plus. • Create self-checking simulation constructs and testbenches to validate functional and corner-case behavior. • Script simulation, synthesis, and implementation workflows using Tcl and shell scripting to automate toolflows. • Implement high-throughput streaming data paths, including FIFO structures, CDC mechanisms, circular buffers, clocking architectures, and timing constraints. • Perform FPGA debug through HDL simulation, waveform analysis, hardware debugging, and logic analyzer tools. • Develop and debug embedded software in C, C++, Python, and related languages to interface with FPGA logic. • Contribute to DSP algorithm design when needed, depending on project requirements. • Work with SDR platforms such as Ettus USRP, Epiq Matchstiq, and Pluto SDR to support system-level development. • Apply knowledge of microcontroller firmware design for supporting embedded subsystems. • Develop on Linux systems and write automation scripts using Bash. • Use Xilinx Vivado and Vitis toolchains including Hardware Manager, IP Integrator, IP packaging, and XSim simulation. • Simulate HDL using tools such as Aldec Riviera Pro and ModelSim for detailed design verification. • Build customized embedded Linux distributions for MPSoC and Versal devices using Yocto. • Set up and debug FlexLM license servers as part of maintaining development environments. • Leverage AI/ML code assistants to enhance development efficiency when appropriate. • Use Git for version control and collaborative software and FPGA development. Required Education: Bachelors and fourteen (14) years or more experience; Masters and twelve (12) years or more experience; PhD or JD and nine (9) years or more experience. • Additional experience may be substituted for a degree Clearance Requirement: • Must be a U.S. citizen with an active TS/SCI with Polygraph level clearance
