Overview of Opportunity 

Two Six Technologies is seeking a Senior Embedded Design Engineer (FPGA/ASIC) to join our Embedded Systems Division, where we design and develop advanced hardware solutions for mission-critical security applications. As part of our collaborative and innovative team, you’ll contribute to cutting-edge research and development on embedded devices, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in secure and resilient systems.

What you will do:

• Lead and contribute to RTL design, verification, and synthesis for FPGA or ASIC-based systems.
• Support bring-up, debug, and validation of designs in hardware.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate and test secure embedded solutions.

What you will need (Minimum Qualifications):

• 5+ years of RTL design and verification using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog (willingness to adopt SystemVerilog).
• 5+ years of RTL synthesis using tools such as Xilinx ISE/Vivado, Intel Quartus, or Microsemi Libero.
• 5+ years of RTL verification using simulation tools such as Xilinx XSim, QuestaSim/ModelSim, Synopsys VCS, or Cadence NCsim.
• Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance, with the ability to obtain and maintain a Polygraph.
• Ability to work on-site in Arlington, VA.

Nice to Have (Preferred):

• Advanced expertise in SystemVerilog for FPGA or ASIC development.
• Familiarity with SoCs, design flow (place, route, and timing analysis), and hardware bring-up/debug.
• Hands-on experience with integration and test tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers).
• Knowledge of interface protocols: UART, USB, SPI/I2C, Ethernet, PCIe.
• Experience with Git or similar version control systems.
• Working knowledge of Linux.
• Proficiency with C/C++ programming.
• Experience with Makefiles and scripting (Python, Bash, TCL).
