FPGA Engineer

Job Title

FPGA Engineer

Role Summary

Design, implement, verify, and deliver production-grade FPGA-based digital systems. The role focuses on RTL development, timing closure, functional verification, lab bring-up, and integration with firmware, PCB, and SoC teams.

Work with cross-functional teams to validate high-speed interfaces and ensure reliable hardware/firmware interactions for deployed products.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Specific years of experience not stated in the posting.

Responsibilities

Key technical responsibilities include:

• Develop and maintain synthesizable RTL using HDLs for FPGA implementations.
• Implement FPGA constraints and achieve timing closure for production devices.
• Perform functional verification, simulation, and lab bring-up of FPGA designs.
• Debug and troubleshoot hardware/firmware issues using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, SignalTap/embedded logic analyzers, and other lab tools.
• Implement and verify high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and SerDes; manage multi-clock CDC domains.
• Collaborate with system architects, firmware, PCB, and SoC teams to define interfaces and validate signal integrity, power sequencing, and integration.
• Optimize resource utilization, performance, and power for FPGA-based designs.
• Produce design documentation, test plans, and handoff materials; support production bring-up and post-release maintenance.

Requirements

Core technical requirements and preferred skills.

• Must-have: Proven hands-on experience with HDL and FPGA development; strong knowledge of digital design principles, timing analysis, and synthesis flows.
• Must-have: Experience with functional verification, simulation, and lab bring-up/debugging workflows.
• Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship required.

• Nice-to-have: Experience with Xilinx or AMD FPGAs and associated toolchains.
• Nice-to-have: Proficiency in Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, SerDes) and CDC/multi-clock system design.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with lab debugging tools (SignalTap or equivalent), PCB signal integrity, and SoC integration.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (as stated in the posting).
