FPGA Engineer

Job Title

FPGA Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement FPGA-based applications and the tools used to develop, test, and validate them. Work predominately with high-level RTL construction and testing using OCaml/Hardcaml, with supplemental Verilog and C as required.

Collaborate with engineers to build end-to-end FPGA projects, improve development tooling, and integrate designs with vendor toolchains and target hardware.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No explicit years-of-experience specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Design and implement RTL for new FPGA applications using high-level construction techniques.
• Develop and extend internal design, testing, and validation tools for FPGA workflows.
• Write and integrate Verilog and C components as required for system integration.
• Build, synthesize, and debug working FPGA projects using vendor tools (Vivado or Quartus).
• Collaborate with team members on architecture, testing strategy, and deployment to hardware.
• Maintain and improve test benches, simulation setups, and CI for hardware projects.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred qualifications:

• Must-have: Strong programming skills and familiarity with a software programming language.
• Must-have: Experience with a hardware description or construction language (VHDL, Verilog, Chisel, PyMTL, or similar) for design and testing.
• Must-have: Experience with FPGA vendor toolchains (Vivado or Quartus) and delivering a working FPGA project (academic, professional, or personal).
• Must-have: Effective collaborator, intellectually curious, and fluent in English.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with OCaml and Hardcaml or other high-level RTL construction libraries.
• Nice-to-have: Background in typed programming languages and programming-language-oriented tooling for hardware development.
• Nice-to-have: Interest or experience using FPGAs in networking contexts; familiarity with integration and CI workflows for hardware.

Education Requirements
