Senior FPGA Engineer

Job Title

Senior FPGA Engineer

Role Summary

Design and verify FPGA-based systems across Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi device families. Implement VHDL designs for gigabit serial interfaces, RF/EO DSP, controls, data links, and embedded processor interfaces while collaborating with circuit card designers and systems engineers.

Supports the full lifecycle from requirements and architecture through simulation, place-and-route, integration, and test. Benefits include 401(k), dental and health insurance, and paid time off.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 5 years of relevant FPGA and digital design experience.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include design, implementation, verification, and integration of FPGA solutions:

• Develop and verify VHDL designs for Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi devices.
• Implement interfaces and algorithms for gigabit serial links, RF/EO DSP, controls, data links, and embedded processing.
• Collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers to define requirements and architect solutions.
• Model algorithms, write RTL, simulate, and perform place-and-route.
• Verify designs against requirements and support integration, system-level testing, and debug.

Requirements

Must-have technical qualifications and experience:

• Minimum 5 years FPGA/digital design experience including VHDL coding on Xilinx or Microsemi devices and associated tool flows.
• Proven record delivering FPGA solutions for system-level applications.
• Hands-on experience with hardware integration and debug.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with radar processing techniques.
• Image processing for visual and infrared sensors.
• Embedded systems design with ARM, MicroBlaze, or Nios processors.
• Designs involving gigabit serial interfaces and multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs).
• Verification experience with constrained-random UVM/SystemVerilog and emulation platforms (e.g., Veloce).

Education Requirements

Not specified.
