Job description

We’re looking for a seasoned FPGA / Hardware Design Engineer to help architect and deliver next-generation solutions for high-performance video and data applications. This role involves taking projects from concept through to production, with a strong focus on efficiency, optimization, and real-time system performance.

What You’ll Do

Senior FPGA / Hardware Design Engineer

• Lead FPGA and hardware design efforts, from architecture through testing and validation.
• Define requirements, select components, and contribute to schematic/board design decisions.
• Develop, verify, and debug FPGA-based solutions (including UHD-SDI, high-speed transceivers, DDR interfaces, etc.).
• Support the full product development lifecycle (design, QA, documentation, customer-facing support).
• Collaborate across teams to ensure high-performance, production-ready solutions.

What You Bring

• Strong background in RTL design and FPGA development (VHDL/Verilog).
• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), ideally in video, audio, or image processing.
• Proven ability in high-volume data processing, compression, and parallel processing for 4K optimization.
• Hands-on expertise with modern FPGA platforms (Xilinx, Intel/Altera) and related tools.
• Familiarity with SoC integration, clock domain analysis, and timing closure.
• Solid understanding of circuit design (power, signal integrity, microprocessor design).
• Proficiency in debugging with lab tools (oscilloscopes, analyzers, WFMs, etc.).
• Additional experience with C/C++/Java, scripting, and broadcast workflows is a plus.
