Hybrid FPGA Design Engineer — Verilog & High-Performance Digital

Job Title

Hybrid FPGA Design Engineer — Verilog & High-Performance Digital

Role Summary

Design and verify high-performance digital systems implemented on FPGAs. The role focuses on RTL development, simulation, synthesis/implementation, and integration with other system components.

Work as part of a cross-functional engineering team in a hybrid schedule (onsite three days per week) at the Laguna Woods, CA office. Benefits include medical and vision insurance.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting specifies approximately 5+ years of experience in digital design and FPGA development.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include design, verification, and integration tasks for FPGA-based digital systems.

• Develop and maintain RTL using Verilog for high-performance digital designs.
• Create and run simulations to verify functionality and timing (ModelSim or equivalent).
• Perform synthesis and FPGA implementation using tools such as Vivado.
• Collaborate with firmware, hardware, and systems engineers to integrate designs.
• Participate in design reviews, debug lab bring-up issues, and support system validation.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and work expectations; concise distinction of essentials and desirable items.

• Must-have: 5+ years of digital design experience focused on FPGA development.
• Must-have: Proficient RTL coding in Verilog.
• Must-have: Experience with simulation/verification tools (ModelSim or equivalent).
• Must-have: Experience with synthesis and FPGA implementation flows (Vivado or equivalent).
• Must-have: Ability to work collaboratively across engineering disciplines in a hybrid environment (3 days/week onsite).
• Nice-to-have: Experience with timing closure, constraints, or FPGA lab bring-up (not explicitly required in the posting).

Education Requirements

Not specified.
