Job Overview
We are seeking a Senior FPGA On-Target Test Engineer (Level 4) to support the integration, verification, and validation of complex FPGA- and System-on-Chip (SoC)-based products in a hardware laboratory environment. In this role, you will lead testing strategies, review technical artifacts, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating across multidisciplinary teams—including FPGA design, simulation verification, and systems engineering—to execute requirements-based tests on target hardware.
Key Responsibilities
<ul>
<li>Test Planning &amp; Execution:
Develop, review, and execute requirements-based verification/validation procedures for FPGA and SoC hardware using engineering and production-representative setups.</li>
<li>Architecture &amp; Requirements:
Translate customer, system, and hardware specifications into comprehensive test objectives, test cases, and expected outputs.</li>
<li>Laboratory Operations &amp; Bring-Up:
Support hardware bring-up, signal verification, and troubleshooting using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, protocol/interface analyzers, and power supplies).</li>
<li>Test Automation &amp; Scripting:
Create automated scripts and tools for test execution, data acquisition, analysis, and reporting.</li>
<li>Interface Testing:
Verify digital, analog, and mixed-signal interfaces, including avionics protocols such as Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, and ARINC 429.</li>
<li>Technical Leadership &amp; Review:
Lead test readiness, design, and peer reviews; establish strategy for regression testing; and maintain strict configuration control over test procedures and environments.</li>
</ul>
Basic Qualifications
<ul>
<li>Education:
Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline.</li>
<li>Experience:
9+ years of related technical experience (or 10+ years for Senior Level 4 alignment).</li>
<li>Technical Depth:
Hands-on experience with FPGA/SoC architectures, embedded hardware verification, digital hardware troubleshooting, and laboratory instrumentation.</li>
<li>Core Skills:
Ability to interpret schematics, interface control documents (ICDs), timing diagrams, and FPGA documentation into actionable test plans.</li>
<li>Compliance:
Must be a U.S. Person for export compliance purposes.</li>
</ul>
Preferred Qualifications
<ul>
<li>Education:
Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.</li>
<li>Domain Knowledge:
Experience working in safety-critical, avionics, or aerospace systems engineering environments.</li>
<li>Automation &amp; Software:
Proficiency in Python test scripting, LabVIEW, MATLAB, C, or C#.</li>
<li>Protocols &amp; Interfaces:
Hands-on experience with MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Ethernet (10/100 Mbps, 1 Gbps), or LVDT/DDV/SOV interfaces.</li>
<li>Mixed-Signal:
Experience handling analog inputs/outputs, signal integrity, and automated test set setup.</li>
</ul>
