- Contribute to programmable logic and FPGA development activities, which may include firmware requirements, RTL coding using VHDL or Verilog, simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, and implementation.
- Assist with the development of simulation testbenches, verification procedures, board-level test procedures, and test scripts.
- Execute engineering tests using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, signal generators, power meters, and power supplies.
- Collect, analyze, and summarize measurement data, test results, anomalies, and supporting technical evidence.
- Support hardware and FPGA bring-up, integration, troubleshooting, debugging, regression testing, and failure-reproduction activities.
- Participate in hardware, firmware, and software integration testing under engineering guidance.
- Support testing and analysis of RF performance characteristics that may include gain, noise figure, sensitivity, impedance matching, VSWR, spurious emissions, and harmonic emissions.
- Participate in design reviews, code reviews, peer reviews, technical discussions, defect investigations, and project status updates.
- Develop, modify, and maintain engineering documentation, including requirements, specifications, procedures, test results, and design records.
- Identify opportunities to improve simulation, verification, test efficiency, repeatability, automation, and documentation quality.
- Apply sound engineering judgment, attention to detail, and disciplined configuration control while working in a regulated aerospace environment.
