Your responsibilities :

1. Promote, refine, and develop innovative features in the most integrated hyperconverged hardware platform in the broadcast industry.
2. Architect, design, implement, and test media transport solutions over SMPTE ST 2110 / IP and SDI in high-performance FPGAs for Broadcast Routers.
3. Implement complex RTL algorithms for video and audio processing.
4. Collaborate with management to develop high-level design requirements.
5. Create specification and design documentation to support cross-functional teams.
6. Develop test features for Product Verification, Manufacturing, and Customer Support.
7. Verify FPGA and hardware designs through simulation and lab tests.
8. Conduct thorough self-testing of design components and support the Product Verification team during development.
9. Support schematics development and board layout, contributing to technical decisions on signal integrity, density, fabrication, and thermal considerations.
10. Assist in supporting other staff throughout the entire NPI process, from design to customer service.

What you need :

1. 5+ years of professional experience as an FPGA/hardware designer developing SMPTE ST 2110 and SDI-based video/audio technologies.
2. Knowledge of FPGA building blocks, system architectures, and speed/area tradeoffs.
3. Experience with high-speed transceivers, physical implementation, clock domain analysis, and timing closure.
4. Proficiency in FPGA compilation, simulation, and hardware testing.
5. Experience with Intel and Xilinx FPGA devices.
