Senior FPGA Engineer - Radar & Sensing Systems

MatrixSpace; Burlington, Northern (MA, KY); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

MatrixSpace seeks an experienced FPGA Engineer to design architectures and high-throughput data paths for radar sensing systems. You will translate algorithms into efficient FPGA implementations and ensure robust hardware/software integration.

Collaborate with RF, embedded, software, and systems teams, lead FPGA initiatives, and mentor engineers. This is an on-site role in the United States with competitive compensation.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5–7 years developing FPGA-based systems for radar, RF, communications, or other high-speed signal processing.
• Experience with modern AMD/Xilinx or Intel FPGA platforms, including vendor IP integration, DMA, processor interfaces, and timing closure.
• Strong RTL development skills using System Verilog, Verilog, VHDL, HLS, or similar, from architecture through lab validation.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed data movement, memory interfaces, clock-domain crossings, and FPGA debugging.
• Experience implementing digital signal processing algorithms such as FFTs, filtering, beam forming, detection, or related radar processing.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop FPGA architectures and high-throughput data paths for radar sensing systems.
• Develop and integrate vendor and custom IP, including SPI, AXI, DMA, FIFOs, memory interfaces, and streaming pipelines.
• Translate radar and signal processing algorithms into efficient FPGA implementations.
• Debug and optimize FPGA designs for timing, resource utilization, throughput, latency, and hardware/software integration.
• Partner with RF, embedded, software, and systems engineers to define FPGA interfaces, architectures, and performance targets.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship on FPGA design and implementation.
