•    Generate design concepts and architectures to satisfy performance requirements
•    Design sub-systems and modules, with emphasis on digital circuits and FPGA code, coordinating integration with Analog, RF, Software, and Mechanical Engineering disciplines
•    Decompose and allocate system and box-level requirements to FPGA specifications.
•    Architect solutions targeting FPGAs against requirements and implement those solutions on FPGA platforms.
•    Map FPGA simulation work products to system-level requirements and capabilities
•    Review product specifications, and generate system and module-level block diagrams, flow diagrams, and design concepts
•    Refine and enforce consistent firmware development processes across FPGA designs.
•    Lead teams of engineers generating the FPGA design solutions.
•    Ensure the FPGA simulations verify performance, then integrate and test the FPGA on the circuit card assembly.
•    Lead the full life cycle development and integration of VHDL into different families of FPGAs.
•    Experience coding in VHDL and modeling algorithms, simulating, and integrating multiple FPGA-based modules
•    Lead the bench-level system integration with hardware, software, and other FPGA designs
•    Support proposal efforts and early stages of the program to define detailed system requirements 
•    Support the planning and execution of project plans, design reviews and production release of modified or new product documentation
•    Support qualification and production test in the event of test failures
•    Support customer with use and troubleshooting of fielded products
•    Provide mentoring to younger engineers
