As FPGA Engineer you will be responsible for;

• Design, develop, and implement FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog
• Own the full FPGA lifecycle: requirements, architecture, RTL development, simulation, synthesis, and validation 
• Develop and execute verification strategies, including testbenches and simulation-based validation
• Perform timing analysis, place-and-route, and optimization using industry tools (Vivado, Quartus, Libero) 
• Integrate FPGA designs into hardware platforms and support system bring-up and lab validation
• Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, hardware, software, and test engineers
• Support compliance with industry standards (e.g., DO-254 for aerospace, FDA/ISO for medical devices)
• Troubleshoot complex hardware/firmware issues during development and testing
• Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives

Required Qualifications;

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of hands-on FPGA design and development experience
• Strong proficiency in HDL languages (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• Experience with FPGA toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, Microchip Libero)
• Knowledge of digital design principles, RTL design, and hardware interfaces
• Experience with simulation, verification, and debugging tools · Familiarity with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SPI, etc.)
• Ability to work from system-level requirements to implementation and verification

Preferred Qualifications;

• Experience in aerospace (avionics, space) or medical device development
• Familiarity with DO-254, ARINC protocols, or safety-critical development processes
• Experience with DSP algorithms or signal processing on FPGAs
• Programming skills in C/C++ or Python
• Experience with embedded systems and SoC architectures

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset · Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration
• Ability to work in fast-paced, multi-project environments
• Detail-oriented with focus on quality and compliance
