• Develop FPGA logic using Verilog/SystemVerilog and create/execute verification tests.
• Perform hardware–firmware analysis, debugging, and root-cause investigations.
• Integrate and validate embedded software (C) with FPGA hardware; support system bring-up and testing.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and systems engineers to meet product requirements and schedules.
• Document designs, participate in design reviews, and produce technical reports.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and conditions:

• 6+ years of relevant hardware engineering experience working on FPGA or digital design.
• Proven experience with Verilog and FPGA design flows.
• Experience with embedded C programming and hardware–firmware interfacing.
• Strong debugging and hardware verification skills; ability to perform hardware/firmware analysis independently.
• US citizenship required for this onsite role in Cincinnati, OH.
• Relocation assistance is offered.

Nice to have:

• SystemVerilog, UVM, or formal verification experience.
• Experience with C# or toolchain/test automation.
• Domain experience with safety- or security-sensitive hardware (e.g., electronic safe/arm devices).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field is required; the posting specifies at least 6 years of relevant hardware engineering experience. Equivalent practical experience may be considered.
