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)
