Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of hands‑on FPGA design and development experience.
• Strong proficiency in HDL languages (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Experience with FPGA toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, Microchip Libero).
• Knowledge of digital design principles, RTL design, and hardware interfaces.
• Experience with simulation, verification, and debugging tools. Familiarity with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SPI, etc.).
• Ability to work from system‑level requirements to implementation and verification.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog
• Own the full FPGA lifecycle: requirements, architecture, RTL development, simulation, synthesis, and validation
• Develop and execute verification strategies, including testbenches and simulation-based validation
• Perform timing analysis, place-and-route, and optimization using industry tools (Vivado, Quartus, Libero)
• Integrate FPGA designs into hardware platforms and support system bring-up and lab validation
• Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, hardware, software, and test engineers
• Support compliance with industry standards (e.g., DO-254 for aerospace, FDA/ISO for medical devices)
• Troubleshoot complex hardware/firmware issues during development and testing
• Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives
