Senior Embedded Firmware & FPGA Systems Architect

BD; Milpitas (CA); On-site; USD 169,000 - 270,000; Full time

Job summary

BD Milpitas, USA, seeks a technically strong engineer to drive embedded firmware and FPGA development on ARM-based instrumentation platforms. You will own end-to-end system architecture, defining the right partitioning between on-board FPGA logic, ARM SoC firmware, and off-board compute.

You will design RTL for FPGA, develop Linux BSP components, and optimize data-path performance across memory, DMA, and high-speed I/O boundaries.

Qualifications

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field required; MS preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in embedded firmware and FPGA development, including technical leadership roles.
• Proficiency in Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog; experience authoring RTL for FPGA, developing simulation testbenches, and driving synthesis and timing closure using Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus.
• Experience with Python, C/C++, version control systems, and modern development tools.
• Experience with common hardware interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe Gen 3/4/5, JESD204B/C, DDR3/DDR4, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of embedded Linux systems, including kernel configuration and demonstrated driver development skills.
• Test bench development; simulations (ModelSim, VCS) and developing verification plans.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical direction and architectural guidance for embedded firmware and FPGA development across multiple product lines.
• Own the development and architecture of embedded firmware and programmable logic for complex instrumentation systems
• Define architecture, balancing on-board (ARM SoC/DSP/FPGA) and off-board compute
• Develop Linux BSP Components, kernel configuration, boot loaders, HALs and device drivers
• Build embedded services in C/C++ and develop python-based automation for testing, validation and workflows
• Collaborate with a distributed global team to deliver on goals.
