Detailed experience with full FPGA design process, including simulation, synthesis, implementation, and timing closure

Recent experience with Xilinx 7 series devices

Expertise in the following areas of FPGA-based real-time DSP implementation: decimation / interpolation filters, fractional delay filters, asynchronous sample rate conversion, NCO, Hilbert transforms, FFT and waveform generation.

Experience with FPGA hardware interfaces related to RF sampling and waveform generation using A/D and D/A converters

Experience using version control tools to manage states of files and collaboratively develop them with teammates

Experience designing re-usable circuits that can be utilized across multiple projects

Design and implement test fixtures including test plans for both chip level and board level environments

FPGA-based high-speed memory and bus interfaces, i.e. PCIe, DDR3

Strong understanding of software and hardware interaction i.e. Linux host / PCIe endpoint

Understanding of digital signal processing hardware architectures, and preferably FMC module interfacing to FPGA-based carrier card assemblies

Familiarity with high-speed PCB board layout

Excellent verbal and written skills to interact with project teams, management and customers
