Lexington, MA (On/Off-Site)
Job Title: Digital Design Engineer
Job Location: Lexington, MA 02420
Onsite Requirements:
* System Verilog UVM
* Xilinx RFSoC experience
* FPGA development tools
Job Description:
* The Optical Communications Technology Group develops advanced laser communications technology for various applications.
* Research in optical switching and optical logic supports the development of future ultra-high-speed, all-optical routing.
* Research in superconducting, single-photon-counting detectors, novel modulation formats, and coding supports the development of future high-data-rate, interplanetary laser communications links.
* These technologies support the most sensitive optical communications links ever developed, enabling communication of several bits per detected photon across vast distances.
Required Skills:
1 Proficient in Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL, and C.
2 Ability to take an FPGA from concept to a device that meets all functional and timing requirements, including generating system-level test benches to verify FPGA performance, functionality, and error recovery using Mentor Questa Logic Simulator.
3 Experience with the Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC platform.
4 Experience coding across multiple clock domains.
5 Experience coding triple-mode redundancy for radiation resistance.
6 Familiarity with the digital processing architecture for lasercom waveform standards.
7 The candidate must have demonstrated knowledge of and delivered products involving:
* Xilinx Virtex 5 SIRF FPGA.
* Xilinx ISE 13.2 with SIRF Overlay.
* Synopsys Synplicity targeting the Virtex 5 SIRF.
* Code design for radiation-hardened operation of the Xilinx Virtex 5 SIRF.
* Radiation-hardened CPUs.
* Analog to digital converters (ADCs) and digital to analog converters (DACs).
* SPI, I2C, SpaceWire, and Ethernet protocols.
* Forward error correction, including Reed-Solomon and DVB-S2.
* CoaXPress and CameraLink camera interfaces.
* Differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) and pulse position modulation (PPM) optical modulation techniques.
* Control loops for synchronization of quantum-entangled sources.
Preferred Skills:
* Ability to communicate effectively with other team members.
* Ability to design and program a Xilinx MicroBlaze embedded processor.
* Familiar with Xilinx Vivado and Vivado SDK.
* Experience with PCIe, CoaXpress, DVBS2 Error Correction, SC-PPM FEC, and PPM modulation and demodulation is also desired.
Position Details:
* This position is working on hardware and is predominantly onsite.
* There will be some flexibility, but the person should plan to be onsite close to 100% of the time.
