What this job asks for AI summary
This role sits within an avionics-focused engineering team and centers on FPGA work spanning independent verification and validation, reverse engineering, and original design. Day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing requirements, reviewing HDL implementations for requirement coverage, and designing or evaluating tests and simulations. Familiarity with safety-critical firmware and DO-254 compliance processes is a plus. The position is contingent on contract award.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (5)
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or related field, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' as a substitute, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No security clearance is required, but U.S. citizenship is mandatory and the role may involve export-controlled technology.
The position is contingent upon contract award, which may affect actual start timing.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: FPGA design sits at the intersection of hardware description (closer to 15-1299 Computer Occupations, All Other) and software development; 15-1252 is used as the primary code because the role centers on writing and verifying HDL code.
DO-254 and safety-critical embedded firmware experience appear under 'Qualifications Desired' and are treated as preferred.
