About the role

Senior Electrical Or Computer Engineer We are expanding our FPGA & ASIC Design Solutions team supporting next-generation military GPS and high-reliability digital systems. We are seeking experienced and motivated Senior Electrical or Computer Engineers with strong FPGA/ASIC design or verification backgrounds to contribute across requirements capture, digital architecture, RTL design, verification, and lab integration.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Requirements capture and development of FPGA/ASIC digital architecturesRTL design and implementation in VHDL or Verilog
  • Timing analysis and closure on high-speed digital systems
  • Resource trade-off analysis and design optimization
Verification: Testbench development using VHDL or SystemVerilog / UVMFunctional verification of RTL blocks and subsystems Support constrained-random, functional coverage, and best-practice verification methodologies Integration & Lab Work: Hands-on FPGA/ASIC validation using advanced lab equipment Work within secure, air-gapped environments for system bring-upIntegration support with multidisciplinary engineering teams
Required Qualifications:
  • Active Secret clearance at start
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • Expertise in FPGA design and/or verification
  • Strong VHDL experience
  • Proficiency with Intel/Altera FPGA tools (preferred), Modelsim, Synopsys, and/or FPGA vendor toolchains
  • Experience with high-speed digital systems, interfaces, and signal processing
  • Ability to work independently and communicate clearly in documentation and presentations
  • Strong hands-on lab experience (non-negotiable)
Desired Skills:
  • SystemVerilog + UVM verificationASIC experience (nice-to-have)
  • Design-for-Test (DFT) and manufacturability knowledge
  • Unix/Linux, scripting, C/C++, or Perl experience
  • Team Structure & Mix:2–3 FPGA Design Engineers per 1 Verification Engineer
  • Approx. 8–10 engineers needed in El Segundo1–2 may be placed in Cedar Rapids
Work Environment:
  • Air-gapped, fully secure engineering lab
  • Collins-issued badging and access
  • Standard 40 hours/week; overtime possible with approval
  • On-site only (no remote work)
Summary: This role is ideal for seasoned FPGA/ASIC engineers who excel in secure lab environments and want to contribute to mission-critical military GPS and high-speed digital systems.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
