﻿About usOne team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we're on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We're looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.What you'll doThis is a role for a Programmable Logic Engineer who is eager to contribute to a small, fast-paced team. You will participate in the design, documentation, implementation, prototyping, and testing of FPGA features on cutting edge high speed or ultra-low power digital circuit boards for encrypted communications systems including Layer 2 and Layer 3 In-line Network Encryptors, and embedded cryptographic devices. You will interface and collaborate with other FPGA designers as well as system, hardware, software, and test engineers as new capabilities are developed and transitioned into service. After a design is fielded, you will provide support to production and product support as needed.The day-to-day<ul><li>Design FPGA module and system level architectures with Verilog and/or VHDL</li><li>Develop simulations for modules and systems</li><li>Synthesizes Verilog and/or VHDL to FPGA products</li><li>Develop timing constraints, analyze timing results, and implement design changes required to close timing</li><li>Generate and collaborate on required design documents, development requirements, specifications and verification protocols</li><li>Develop, test and support embedded firmware for current and future products</li><li>Work closely with hardware and hardware engineers to provide mentorship, help in bringing up boards, interpreting data sheets and schematics</li><li>Conduct code and design reviews and participate in cross functional reviews</li><li>Maintain and control FPGA code revision history</li><li>Responsible for owning and driving technical issues to resolution</li><li>Integrates and debugs design in the laboratory</li></ul>What you'll need<ul><li>7+ years FPGA design experience </li><li>Foundational knowledge of digital logic and timing considerations </li><li>Strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to work with a temporally and geographically diverse team </li><li>Attention to detail, ability to follow process and coding guidelines, participate in code reviews and accept feedback </li><li>Experience with Programmable Logic EDA tools, such as AMD/Xilinx ISE/Vivado, Intel/Altera Quartus, Siemens/Mentor Graphics, Synopsys Synplify, etc. </li><li>Demonstrated ability to design and implement FPGA modules using Verilog or VHDL </li><li>Understanding of embedded processor software and peripheral interfacing to PL/HW </li><li>Familiarity with designing and coding for re-use, maintainability and a scalability </li><li>Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience </li><li>US government position.
