As a FPGA Digital System Engineer in product R&D, you will play a key role in defining and developing Signal Source products, and you will have the opportunity to directly contribute to the success of Keysight. You will work with engineers from diverse areas of expertise to create complete solutions for our customers. The product R&D team is made up of electrical, mechanical, FPGA, firmware, and software engineers, who all work together with our planning and marketing departments to transform designs into final products.

In this position you will be designing low level hardware control via FPGA programming and module design, designing DSP architectures of an FPGA or digital ASIC, implementing communication protocols, providing feedback on board layout out, turning on, testing, and troubleshooting digital systems. You will work with simulation tools and design tools to implement your ideas, then test and troubleshoot the hardware using state of the art test and measurement equipment. As the leader in test and measurement, all our designs leverage cutting edge technology to make the best possible products for our customers.

For locations hired outside of Santa Rosa there will be travel required to Santa Rosa CA for training and collaboration through project lifecycles.

Primary job responsibilities include:

• 
  Develop, design, simulate, measure, and troubleshoot digital logic and FPGA hardware and software.
• Designs may include interface logic for control, high speed serial busses (PCIe, Aurora, Ethernet), power and control circuits.
• Develop, design, simulate, measure, and troubleshoot the boards and modules used to control and manage complex test and measurement systems.
• Accomplish design goals through simulation and testing.
• Develop testbenches for own designs.
• Assist in instrument architecture decisions with other engineers to select vendors and components and troubleshoot and fix problems.
• Define the DSP architectures of an FPGA or digital ASIC.
• Design sophisticated functions and algorithms in the industry highest end FPGAs.
• Close collaboration with hardware and firmware design engineers.
• Document designs including the design goals, the core concepts of the design, the theory of operation, the details of the design, and troubleshooting techniques.
• Solve design problems found in prototypes, pilot units, and production units.
• Collaboration with other functional areas such as marketing and manufacturing.
• Support the transition of the design to full production and delivery.

• 
  BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
