Job description

Experience Level: 3+ years
Location: Lahore, on-site
Job Type: Full-Time

We’re seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to develop high-performance, low-latency imaging systems across various domains, including broadcast video, medical imaging, and machine vision.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in Xilinx and Intel/Altera FPGAs, strong RTL development, and solid experience with both bare-metal firmware and Linux-based embedded systems.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and optimize FPGA designs for image acquisition, video processing, and sensor interfacing.
• Implement RTL (Verilog/VHDL/SystemVerilog) using Vivado/Vitis (Xilinx) and Quartus Prime (Intel).
• Integrate high-speed interfaces: MIPI CSI, HDMI, LVDS, SDI, PCIe, etc.
• Design AXI/Avalon-based systems and real-time video pipelines.
• Build and customize PetaLinux environments (BSP, kernel, U-Boot, device tree).
• Interface with ARM/MicroBlaze/Nios II processors in SoC designs.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, and systems teams for full system integration and validation.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years in FPGA development for imaging or embedded systems.
• Hands-on with Xilinx (Zynq, Ultrascale+) and Intel (Cyclone, Arria) platforms.
• Strong RTL, timing closure, and hardware debugging (ILA, SignalTap, ModelSim).
• Experience with PetaLinux, bare-metal firmware, and embedded Linux integration.
• Scripting and automation (TCL, Python, Bash) for build flows and testing.
• Familiarity with real-time constraints and image processing pipelines.

Culture and Core Value Traits

Exceptional work ethic, willingness to learn, tenacity not to quit, aptitude to surpass, and strong desire to work in a fast-paced environment with existing and new algorithms are necessary to excel in this role.

• Self-driven and self-starter, in addition to excellent communication skills.
• Great at thinking outside the box and have an aptitude for innovation and problem solving.
• Interact appropriately with others to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
• Always willing to explore the other side of fear, be challenged, and crave cutting edge technologies.
• Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
