Job summary

Hitachi Energy Kraków is seeking an FPGA/ASIC design engineer to contribute to MACH control systems for HVDC projects. You will participate in full development lifecycle of FPGA-based devices, from requirements to deployment, using VHDL on AMD/Xilinx platforms.

The role requires at least 2 years of FPGA/ASIC experience, knowledge of Git, CI/CD and Azure DevOps, and a collaborative approach. We offer a supportive workplace, competitive rewards, and opportunities for growth.

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of FPGA/ASIC design and simulation in VHDL (or Verilog).
• Good understanding of synchronous design, timing constraints and static timing analysis.
• Experience in High Level Synthesis modelling.
• Knowledge of Git, CI/CD and Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Experience with self-testing test-benches and regression tests.
• Experience with laboratory equipment, prototyping and testing.
• Strong commitment to safe work practices and dedication to follow all relevant workplace safety guidelines.
• High level of self-motivation, curiosity, and desire to learn about modern technologies.
• A collaborative, solutions-oriented approach, and effective communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Participation in the full development lifecycle of FPGA-based devices, from requirements analysis and architecture definition through implementation, integration, validation, and deployment.
• Design, implementation, simulation, debugging, and maintenance of FPGA solutions using VHDL and modern AMD/Xilinx FPGA platforms.
• Investigation and evaluation of alternative technical approaches, supporting architectural decisions through feasibility studies, proof-of-concept development, and technical risk reduction activities.
• Development of reusable verification and validation infrastructure.
• Collaboration with hardware, architecture, and software teams to define interfaces, resolve cross-domain technical issues, and ensure successful system integration.
• Analysis and clarification of system requirements, translating high-level functional expectations into implementable FPGA and system-level solutions.
• Creation and maintenance of technical documentation, including interface specifications, design diagrams, test plans, and engineering guidelines.
• Support of prototype bring-up, laboratory testing, and hardware validation activities on real target platforms.
• Contributing to knowledge sharing across engineering teams through technical reviews, design discussions, engineering presentations, and documentation of lessons learned.
• Participation in cross-functional planning, technical coordination, and engineering decision-making activities throughout the product development process.
