Electrical Engineering Manager (FPGA / Digital Design)

Electrical Engineering Manager (FPGA / Digital Design)

Rochester, NY (Relocation Available)

U.S. Citizenship Required | Clearance Eligible

Flexible Schedule (9/80 or 5/8)

Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS) is partnering with a leading, innovation-driven organization in secure communications and advanced defense technologies to identify a top-tier Electrical Engineering Manager with deep FPGA expertise .

This is a high-impact leadership role at the forefront of next-generation wireless and tactical communication systems , where your work directly supports mission-critical solutions.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Lead and shape a high-performing FPGA engineering team
• Drive development of secure, embedded communication systems
• Own end-to-end delivery (architecture verification deployment)
• Influence next-gen radio and signal processing technologies
• Join a program with strong funding, stability, and long-term roadmap

What You'll Do

• Lead and mentor a team of FPGA/firmware engineers
• Drive execution across design, verification, and delivery milestones
• Own project schedules, budgets, and performance metrics
• Partner cross-functionally with hardware, software, and systems teams
• Elevate and refine FPGA development processes and standards

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in FPGA / embedded firmware development
• Proven leadership managing technical teams and project delivery
• Strong experience with
• VHDL and/or Verilog
• SystemVerilog and verification methodologies (UVM/OVM)
• Background in wireless communications, signal processing, or secure systems
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance

Preferred Edge

• Experience with cryptographic or secure communication systems
• Exposure to RF or tactical communication environments
• Active Secret Clearance

Why NWTS

Northwest Talent Solutions is not a volume-based recruiting firm.

• Precision-matched opportunities —no resume blasting
• Direct access to high-impact, hard-to-find roles
• Transparent, strategic communication throughout the process
• Deep expertise in engineering, defense, and advanced technology hiring

This role is being handled with priority and urgency —qualified candidates will move quickly through the process.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary (aligned to experience)
• Full benefits package + relocation support
• Flexible work schedule options (9/80 or standard)
