• 10+ years FPGA development experience required.
• Strong VHDL and/or SystemVerilog expertise.
• Experience with Xilinx/AMD, Intel or similar FPGA toolchains.
• Proven delivery of FPGA-based video or imaging systems.
• Experience with camera interfaces and high-speed serial protocols.
• Understanding of embedded processor and FPGA integration, including drivers, register maps and boot architectures.
• Strong hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and protocol analyzers.
• Ability to review Altium schematics and hardware architectures.

Responsabilités

• Lead FPGA and SoC design for video processing and control systems.
• Develop RTL using VHDL and/or SystemVerilog.
• Perform simulation, synthesis, timing closure and hardware bring-up.
• Design and implement video processing pipelines including sensor capture, image correction, stabilisation and metadata handling.
• Develop real-time interfaces for control and stabilisation systems.
• Support the development of in-house electronics from prototype through to production.
• Define and execute FPGA verification activities, including testbenches and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Debug and resolve hardware, firmware and interface issues.
