Job description

RDT is looking for an FPGA Design Engineer to support the development of electronic products designed for demanding outdoor environments. This opportunity is suited to an engineer who combines strong FPGA design skills with a practical understanding of electronic product development, environmental requirements, and production readiness.

You will work closely with electronics designers and other engineering stakeholders, taking ownership of technical solutions from understanding requirements and use cases through design development, validation, and handover to production.

We welcome experienced engineers who can contribute independently, as well as motivated mid-level professionals with solid FPGA fundamentals and the ability to take on greater responsibility.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop, and validate FPGA-based solutions for electronic products.
• Translate product requirements and user scenarios into practical engineering solutions.
• Collaborate closely with electronics designers and other cross-functional stakeholders.
• Contribute throughout the product development lifecycle, from initial requirements to production handover.
• Consider environmental durability and reliability when developing products intended for outdoor use.
• Support design decisions involving electronic assemblies and mechanical product constraints.
• Work with engineering teams to address design issues, improve product robustness, and ensure production readiness.
• Take ownership of assigned tasks, proactively identify challenges, and drive solutions forward.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in FPGA design and development.
• Ideally 5–10 years of relevant experience, although candidates with 3–5 years of strong, relevant experience are also encouraged to apply.
• Experience working with electronic hardware development and collaborating with electronics designers.
• Understanding of requirements engineering, product development, and design verification.
• Experience taking engineering solutions towards production, including validation, documentation, and handover.
• A proactive mindset, with the confidence to take responsibility and work independently.
• Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines.
• Professional English communication skills.

Nice to have

• Experience developing electronic products for outdoor or otherwise demanding environmental conditions.
• Knowledge of product reliability, environmental protection, and design considerations for weather-resistant electronics.
• Experience working with products incorporating machined aluminium and plastic enclosures or components.
• Familiarity with mechanical CAD tools such as Autodesk Fusion and the interaction between electronic and mechanical design.
• Experience in industrial electronics or other hardware-intensive product development environments.

Location and mobility

The assignment is based in Lund, Sweden. Candidates already based in Sweden or elsewhere in Europe are welcome to apply. Relocation may be considered for suitable candidates, depending on their experience, availability, and eligibility to work in Sweden.
