Digital Design Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike

The role

You will design and integrate RTL for FPGA and SoC platforms used in high-performance embedded systems, avionics, and mission-critical hardware. You will work across the full development cycle from requirements to system integration.

What you will do

• Design and implement RTL in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog for FPGA and SoC-based systems.
• Translate system and hardware requirements into microarchitecture, interface definitions, and implementation plans.
• Own FPGA designs or major functional blocks from architecture through integration, timing closure, and lab debug.
• Develop and execute simulation, synthesis, and implementation flows.
• Debug functional, timing, and integration issues in simulation and on hardware.
• Support board bring-up, lab validation, and system integration on target platforms.
• Collaborate with hardware, embedded software, systems, and verification engineers.
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical documentation.
• Contribute to reusable design practices, coding standards, and development workflows.
• Support rapid prototyping while maintaining engineering rigor.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of FPGA, ASIC, or closely related digital design experience.
• Proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Hands-on experience with simulation, synthesis, implementation, and timing closure on modern FPGA platforms.
• Hands-on debug experience in simulation and on hardware.
• Strong digital design fundamentals, including clocking, resets, state machines, CDC awareness, and interface design.
• Proficiency with Linux-based development environments, Git-based workflows, and Tcl and/or Python scripting.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Nice to have

• 4+ years of FPGA development experience.
• Experience owning a major functional block, subsystem, or full FPGA design from concept through integration.
• Familiarity with AMD (Xilinx), Intel/Altera, or Lattice FPGA development environments.
• Experience with embedded systems and hardware/software co-design, including AMD (Xilinx) Vitis or similar tooling.
• Familiarity with common high-speed or embedded interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, JESD204, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, or MIL-STD-1553.
• Familiarity with DO-254 or similar military or safety-critical development standards.
• Experience building or improving reusable IP, verification infrastructure, CI/CD flows, or team workflows.
• Familiarity with modern build and development tooling such as Jira, automated regression infrastructure, and reproducible build environments.

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.

Before you apply

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Consent to Anduril Industries using a third-party service provider to conduct pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening.
