FPGA Engineer - Camera/Vision Systems

Job Title

FPGA Engineer - Camera/Vision Systems

Role Summary

Design and implement FPGA-based systems and IP cores for camera and vision subsystems used in robotic platforms. Work within a cross-functional engineering team to deliver high-performance signal processing, verification, and system integration.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Years of experience: not specified.

Responsibilities

Principal responsibilities include:

• Design and develop FPGA configurations and IP cores for camera and vision systems.
• Implement signal-processing algorithms using Verilog and other HDL.
• Use simulation and verification frameworks to validate logic before hardware deployment.
• Collaborate with software and embedded engineers to integrate FPGA designs into larger systems.
• Develop embedded software-based test solutions to validate FPGA functionality.
• Optimize designs for timing, resource utilization, and throughput.
• Identify and resolve system bottlenecks and performance issues.
• Integrate internally developed and third-party IP cores.
• Contribute to system-level architecture and design discussions.
• Troubleshoot and debug FPGA designs using industry-standard tools and lab equipment.

Requirements
