Description:

Raytheon Missile Systems (RMS) is the world leader in design, development and production of missile systems. RMS designs, develops, and produces missile systems for critical requirements, including: air-to-air, strike, surface Navy air defense, land combat, guided projectiles, exo-atmospheric kill vehicles, and directed energy weapons. Headquartered in Tucson, AZ, RMS employs over 12,500 people and generated $5.4 billion in 2008 revenues. This position is for Huntsville, AL.

The Electronics Center performs electronics development and support for missile systems, from concept to manufacturing. These activities include concept definition, Digital and Analog circuit design, FPGA and ASIC design, power supply design, first article test and production support.

The vision of the Electronics Center is to provide electronic design solutions that meet or exceed customer expectations. To accomplish this we understand that we must establish and maintain a world class engineering organization, and we place great emphasis upon providing exciting work opportunities and career development for our employees.

Job Description:

Personnel in the Configurable Digital Logic Design Department develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families, including: Xilinx, Altera, Lattice, and Actel. Designs are developed using VHDL for the following applications: high speed serial interfaces, DSP, embedded processing and processor interfaces. Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, partition and perform code development, simulation, place and route, and verification. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management is required.

Required Skills for Senior Electrical Engineer II:

Minimum 6 years of electrical design experience with a minimum 5 years FPGA design experience required. Must have written VHDL, simulated, synthesized, placed and routed, and integrated and tested multiple designs on hardware. Fluent in simulation tools such as ModelSim or NC Sim, synthesis tools such as Synplify, and back-end tools such as Xilinx ISE, Altera Quartus, or other FPGA vendor tools. Chip Scope and iBERT experience, or experience with other embedded and high speed analysis tools, a plus. Knowledge of C programming and/or scripting languages is a plus. Experience with embedded processor cores such as Microblaze, Nios, or PPC family a strong plus. Candidates must have understanding and appreciation of technical themes and concepts and the ability to develop solutions independently, but also be able to work with Systems Engineers and Software teams to define requirements. Must work closely with the circuit card design engineers to ensure functional, electrical and physical design constraints are clearly communicated and mutually agreeable. Must have led or have the potential to lead a team of firmware designers or have significant unique technical knowledge in an area. Must understand, demonstrate and instill the importance of simulation, verification, embedded diagnostics, BIT/BIST and regression testing.

If previous experience is with ASIC design, must be strong in verification and timing closure. Must be familiar with foundry offerings, development flows, qualification strategies, libraries, and a variety of feature sizes knowing advantages and disadvantages of each.

Candidates should have working knowledge of Microsoft Office products. They should have good verbal and written communication skills and a strong desire to learn and contribute in a fast-paced team environment. At a minimum an Interim Secret clearance will be required to start.

Desired Qualifications:

Minimum 5 years FPGA or ASIC design experience required.

Required Education:

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

Desired Education:

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

Additional Requirements:

Must be willing to reside and work in Huntsville, AL

Start date may vary between 8/1/09 and 11/20/09
