Who We Are Looking ForWe're looking for a seasoned FPGA engineer who thrives on solving hard technical problems and wants a direct hand in shaping solutions for a wide range of client applications. You're comfortable owning a design from initial concept through lab debug, and you bring the kind of practical, battle-tested judgment that only comes from a decade or more of hands-on FPGA development experience.
You're self-motivated, curious, and genuinely energized by variety-you'd rather work across multiple projects and unfamiliar applications than settle into a single narrow lane. You communicate well, whether you're documenting requirements with a client, walking a teammate through a design decision, or writing up a technical work package. You bring a research-and-development approach to new challenges and a collaborative instinct that makes you a natural fit within a technically diverse, lean, team-oriented engineering culture.
If you're looking for a role where your FPGA expertise will be applied to diverse, technically challenging client work-and where you'll have real influence over architecture, design, and delivery-this opportunity is worth a serious look.
What You Get To Do- Partner directly with clients to gather and document technical requirements, develop project estimates, and provide technical leadership throughout engagements.
- Architect FPGA solutions and implement robust RTL designs for demanding, real-world applications.
- Build simulation environments and self-checking testbenches to verify designs meet their requirements.
- Drive designs through synthesis, constraint development, clock-domain crossing analysis, timing closure, and resource optimization.
- Design with high-speed and embedded interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204, DDR, AXI, SPI, and I2C.
- Bring designs to life on target hardware-integrating and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
- Collaborate closely with embedded software, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers across the full product development lifecycle.
- Contribute to design reviews and technical risk assessments, helping guide data-driven design decisions.
- Document and hand off FPGA work packages and project deliverables to clients.
What You Bring To The TeamRequired:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience developing FPGA-based systems.
- Strong VHDL design experience.
- Experience with AMD/Xilinx Vivado and Intel Quartus FPGA development toolchains.
- Solid understanding of RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, constraint development, clock-domain crossing techniques, and FPGA resource optimization.
- Experience building verification environments and self-checking testbenches.
- Experience designing with common digital interfaces and protocols.
- Hands-on experience with FPGA hardware integration, board bring-up, and lab debugging (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related equipment).
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with comfort collaborating directly with clients as well as internal teams.
- A self-motivated, entrepreneurial perspective with a passion for customer success and the ability to contribute to multiple projects concurrently.
- Ability to apply technical experience and an R&D outlook to unfamiliar applications.
Preferred:
- Additional experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Experience with testbench frameworks such as OSVVM or UVM.
- Experience with digital signal processing, RF systems, and/or image processing.
- Scripting or software development experience using Python, Tcl, C, and/or C++.
