Job Description
HII is seeking multiple engineers to support an exciting and ongoing microelectronics effort with the Air Force Research Laboratory on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. In this role you will be operating sensitive test and analysis equipment in support of various microelectronics research and development activities. Multi-disciplined support to execute the extremely challenging research into resilient and assured microelectronics for application to defense systems. The research requires development of assured design techniques and methods, quantified verification, emulation capabilities, and assurance analyses. The research needs include verification and validation of beyond functional analyses of third-party Intellectual Property (IP) as applied to Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Embedded FPGA (eFPGA), and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) domains.
Essential Job Responsibilities
Supporting a wide variety of test plans, processes, and setups in support of executing the tasks outlined below:
Analyze current, past, and future IP landscape
Perform trade-off analysis to enhance application of IPs
Perform research and analysis of core IP products using simulation tools
Test and evaluate physical characterization of IPs (performance, emanation, acoustical, optical, and thermal)
Run simulations of IC within specified hardware platforms
Integrate and run simulations to verify functionality of IC over performance, power, security, and trust
Perform application-specific emulations
Perform accelerated digital design research and analysis
Develop recommended algorithms and capabilities to implement algorithms for accelerator architecture
Perform microelectronic, Analog Mixed Signal (AMS), PCB, and RF research to identify niche areas, emerging architectures, and developing concerns and architect and assemble designs
Research trends of digital system design involving ASICs, FPGAs, and COTS components
Develop test plans and procedures for characterization, validation, and verification of microelectronics components according to their operation as part of a system
Test evaluation and characterization engineering to contribute to overall assurance of microelectronics through generation of data artifacts associated with electronic characterization, physical analysis and application specific reliability
Research commercial fabrication facilities and methodologies to leverage commercial microelectronics design fabrication capabilities, develop advanced III-V semiconductor fabrication capabilities, enable HI of disparate technologies, explore advanced packaging concepts and facilitate fabrication process of high-mix, low-volume, and boutique technologies
Research objectives surrounding integration and development of brass board and prototype demonstrators incorporated into a cohesive system and the resolution of associated challenges through the use of model-based simulation techniques for multi-physics (i.e. electrical, thermal, mechanical) static and dynamic modeling, characterization, high-level simulation, systems engineering, product and process improvement, and project management.
