Job Title Sr. Specialist, Electrical Engineer (FPGA Design)Job Code 34144Job Location Waterdown, OntarioWork Schedule 9/80About L3HARRIS WESCAM As a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies and within the Communications & Spectrum Dominance (CSD) Segment, the WESCAM division develops the most advanced optical sensor and targeting systems for global defense and military sectors, national security, search & rescue and airborne law enforcement agencies. From long-range covert surveillance missions to search and rescue operations, our MX‐series systems, and the mission systems solutions they are part of, produce stabilized high‐magnification electro‐optical and infrared images from airborne, marine and ground based platforms, enabling our customers to see first and act first.About The Role We are a team full of bright and exceptionally friendly people who work together to create a wide variety of solutions to complex and challenging problems. In order to ensure exceptional results, our team creates reusable IP by following a rigorous process that begins with requirements, is supported by documentation and ends with verification. Are you tired of critical customer bugs causing you to work every weekend? If so, you may be ready to trade some of your frustration for a process that has been proven to produce nearly perfect designs. Our team follows a standardized workflow and an efficient process that enables us to consistently create robust and reliable designs that our customers can rely upon. We focus our energy on future solutions, not fixing past mistakes.Our team is split into two equally valuable groups. The Design team owns the design and is responsible for creating creative solutions for our customers. The Verification team is committed to confirming that the modules we produce behave exactly as specified. Neither group could stand on its own, but together are successful. Our team of highly skilled individuals have both a depth and breadth in their roles.



We all perform some level of verification; we all participate in requirements definition & design engineering and we all take an active role in developing new design concepts and product launches.An FPGA design cannot live in isolation and we collaborate regularly with other departments to ensure the best solution at the system level. This collaboration has earned us a reputation for producing high quality designs that are easy to integrate and actively supported. We track and report design progress so that our Leadership team can be well informed as they allocate resources.We also understand the complex world of FPGA designs as a marathon, not a sprint. We recognize that being excellent in life goes well beyond engineering and includes actively participating in our communities and spending time with friends and family. With this in mind, we set aggressive but achievable goals that allow us to feel challenged while maintaining a work life balance.In short, it is a great place to work!Primary Responsibilities Creating FPGA designs using the VHDL languageSimulating your designs using Questa SimUtilizing Xilinx design tools for synthesis, implementation, debugging and timing closureAssisting the Verification Team as requiredIntegrating library modules within a larger FPGA designVerifying, testing and debugging in hardwareParticipating in regular design reviewsPresenting FPGA status updates at regular NPI project meetingsSupporting product sustaining operationsGenerating high quality documentationFollowing departmental practices and coding guidelinesProviding input and support to others outside of the FPGA teamContributing to the team's knowledge by sharing lessons learnedParticipate in company educational events and training as neededPropose ideas for, and participate in, continuous inter and intra-group innovationComplete other tasks as assigned by ManagerDesired Qualities Passionate about being excellent, yet humble enough to learn from othersA collaborator, knowing that it improves the results of independent workExcited to follow a workflow and process that will produce high quality designsRequired Education And Experiences Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent and minimum 6 years of prior relevant experience, orGraduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior relevant experience, orIn lieu of a degree, minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience.Meets the requirements of the Canadian Controlled Goods Registration Program and is eligible for a Canadian government security clearance (required)Desired Skills And Capabilities Knowledge of Digital Signal Processing techniquesExperience with Digital or Analog VideoMatlab for algorithm developmentExperience with DO254 or other standardized safety critical processesThis posting is for a current vacancy.
