Job Category:

Technicall/Professional

Job Description:

Reporting to the Manager, Engineering (ASIC/FPGA), the Design Engineer will be part of the key ASIC/FPGA design team, responsible for the delivery of FPGA/ASICs for high-speed crypto applications. S/he will architect, implement high speed crypto architectures, on ASICs/Xilinx Zynq/MPSOC class FPGAs, with hands on design/debug with Ethernet, TCP/IP protocols.

L3Harris has state-of-the-art EDA flows/methodologies including Synopsys DC/Primetime/Synplify, Xilinx/Intel/Microchip EDA with HLS, Mentor EDA Family suite : Questa, VIPs, UVM framework, Clock Domain Crossing (CDC), Reset Domain Crossing (RDC), Questa Lint, and Catapult (HLS).

This is a key, high impact role in the organization to ensure robust quality and delivery of communication products for National Security.

Skills/Experience:

Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent degree, and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience (or Masters Degree plus 2 years of prior relevant experience) developing, implementing, and verification of high-performance communications/networking ASIC/FPGA products.
