JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Senior Digital Design Engineer within the ERA RF Technologies engineering team, you will be responsible for digital design blocks of EW, LOS, SATCOM and orbital RF communication systems that involves specification, design, analysis. This position requires a proven technical expertise on FPGA architectures, digital design methodologies, VHDL synthesis/implementation and digital signal processing algorithms to create solutions for end-to-end datalink and ELINT/SIGINT systems.

Intentiveness, adaptability and continuous learning inclination are highly regarded at ERA RF Technologies. Ideal candidate for this position should be able to design, develop and test complex high-speed digital systems; follow through integration and system performance validation activities; propose solutions to problems that may arise during product development phases.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Contribute to defining and identifying system-level specifications, assessing architectural limitations, and engineering constraints,
  • Collaborate with system architects, RF engineers, DSP/algorithm design engineers to understand design requirements and ensure seamless integration of subsystems,
  • Characterization and analysis of system architectures,
  • Conceptual design from requirement analysis,
  • Modelling and simulation of digital design blocks,
  • Design, analyze, integration, test and document digital design blocks that meet the reliability objectives, engineering methodologies and guidelines set by avionic, military and spaceborne standards,
  • Participate in the requirements analysis phase to determine design feasibility within time, cost, power, and other additional constraints (size, weight, reliability),
  • Recommend enhancements, improvements, innovations, shortcuts and cost savings to the existing technology and design methodology, and propose the development of effective solutions and prototypes, if/when required.
Additional Skillsets for Distinction:
  • Experience on Software Defined Radios (SDRs)
  • Experience in defense, avionics or space projects
  • Familiarity with RF, analog and mixed-signal design and their operational principles
  • Familiarity with high-frequency circuits

QUALIFICATIONS

  • BSEE or MSEE Degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in digital design or communication theory
  • BSEE+10 years or MSEE+8 years of digital design experience
  • In-depth understanding of analytical/mathematical modeling of communication links, ELINT/SIGINT subsystems and related technologies
  • In-depth expertise on VHDL & Verilog Hardware Description Languages
  • Knowledge of RF transceiver architectures and RF-to-Bits comprehension
  • Proficiency on digital communication systems such as modulation, coding, multiple access methodologies and spread spectrum techniques (DSSS, FHSS)
  • Proficiency in written and spoken English
  • Ability to learn and apply new information quickly on solution proposals
  • Ability to embrace technological changes and resultant agile workflows
  • Ability to adapt to multi-disciplinary projects and cross-functional team structures
  • Conceptual understanding and comprehension of RF, analog and mixed-signal designs
