Job Title

FPGA Engineer - Hod HaSharon

Role Summary

Join the hardware development team to design, implement, verify and debug FPGA-based solutions for advanced digital systems within the Modem Technologies engineering group. Work with architects, ASIC/SoC designers, firmware and verification teams to deliver high-performance products from prototype to deployment.

Experience Level

Entry-level — up to 3 years of relevant FPGA or digital design experience.

Responsibilities

Contribute to FPGA development across design, verification and bring-up phases.

• Design and implement FPGA logic using Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Develop and maintain FPGA subsystems, IP blocks, and reference designs.
• Participate in architecture and design reviews with cross-functional teams.
• Perform RTL simulation, debugging, and functional verification.
• Support synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and implementation flows.
• Create and execute test plans for FPGA validation and board bring-up.
• Debug hardware and system-level issues in laboratory and prototype environments.
• Integrate common interfaces (e.g., JTAG, AHB, DDR) and verify connectivity.
• Collaborate with software, firmware, and hardware teams during product development.
• Document designs, verification results, and development procedures.

Requirements

Core technical skills and practical FPGA development experience are required; preferred skills listed separately.

Must-have:

• Up to 3 years of FPGA or digital design experience.
• Proficient in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Experience with RTL simulation and debugging (ModelSim/Questa or equivalent).
• Familiarity with FPGA toolchains (AMD/Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus) and implementation flows.
• Understanding of synchronous design principles, timing analysis, and timing closure.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written and verbal communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with FPGA prototyping or board bring-up.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Bash).
• Knowledge of FPGA verification methodologies and embedded/processor-based FPGA platforms.
• Experience with version control systems such as Git or ClearCase.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's (B.Sc.) or Master's (M.Sc.) degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. Equivalent practical experience will be considered.
