Job Description

Job Title: Senior FPGA Engineer Role Summary: Design, develop, and validate VHDL firmware for high‑speed embedded systems. Work across hardware, software, and production teams to deliver fully vetted FPGA solutions for sensing and signal processing applications. Expectations: Own end‑to‑end FPGA design cycle—from concept through simulation, verification, hardware demos, and production hand‑off. Lead troubleshooting, optimize performance, and mentor junior team members. Deliver defect‑free firmware on schedule while maintaining technical excellence and clear documentation. Key Responsibilities • Write VHDL code for high‑performance FPGA logic (sensor acquisition, DSP, I/O). • Design FPGA top‑level architecture for embedded systems. • Perform functional, timing, and formal verification of FPGA firmware. • Collaborate with hardware engineers on board integration and signal integrity. • Validate firmware on physical prototypes; document results. • Provide production support and firmware updates. Required Skills • Proficient in VHDL and FPGA design flow. • Experience with Xilinx and Lattice toolchains (ISE, Vivado, Quartus). • Strong knowledge of serial interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS‑232/485). • Familiarity with high‑speed protocols (Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, USB, Aurora, sFPDP). • Hands‑on debugging using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and scope‑based logic probes. • Ability to read and work with schematic capture and simulation tools (Altium, Protel, pSPICE). • Basic scripting (Python or similar) for test automation. • Excellent problem‑solving, organization, communication, and teamwork abilities. Required Education & Certifications • Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field. • Relevant industry certifications (e.g., Xilinx Certified Design Engineer) are an advantage.
