FPGA Design Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly-motivated individual that enjoys working in a small dynamic team environment with a passion for solving challenging problems that can lead to high-impact advances in technology. As an FPGA Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of FPGA designs - design, simulation, implementation, testing, and verification - for digital logic for high-data-rate communications systems and precision line-of-sight tracking systems.

About the Role

• Collaborate across teams to jointly develop high-speed digital signal processing and control system algorithms supporting wireless optical communications applications.
• Implement custom RTL modules that enable high data rate communications, as well as timing-sensitive feedback-based precision line-of-sight tracking systems.
• Develop test benches for RTL modules, perform simulation, and verify design requirements are met.
• Integrate third party IP cores into an FPGA system, create custom RTL wrappers for third party cores, and interface with IP vendors.
• Participate in board bring-up activities, system level integration tasks, troubleshooting, and field testing.
• Stay current with the latest FPGA technologies, tools, and best practices.
• Contribute ideas and participate in improving our design process, infrastructure, and products.

What you should have

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering or similar discipline.
• 3+ years in FPGA/ Digital Logic Design role, with experience in implementing and testing custom RTL using System Verilog or Verilog.
• Experience with FPGA design flow including simulation, synthesis, and static timing analysis.
• Experience with FPGA high speed interfaces.
• Hands on experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes and hardware debugging.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

It would be great if you also had these

• MS (or higher) in Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with AMD UltraScale/UltraScale+ FPGAs/SoCs, or equivalent.
• Experience coding in embedded C/C++ (or similar) and common scripting languages (e.g. Python, tcl).
• Experience implementing RTL blocks for high-speed communications, image processing, and real-time tracking systems.
• Experience with Simulink or High Level Synthesis.
