Sr FPGA Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Independently lead complex FPGA development projects from concept through production using Intel/Altera and AMD/Xilinx FPGA, SoC, MPSoC, and RFSoC platforms.
• Design and implement FPGA-based motion control solutions for XYZ stages, rotary stages, galvanometers, and other precision positioning systems.
• Develop advanced FPGA algorithms for electro-optical systems, including optical scan control (OSC), high-speed signal processing, machine vision, and real-time control applications.
• Perform hands-on system integration, bring-up, and troubleshooting of complex electro-optical systems, leveraging broad experience across optics, mechanics, electronics, FPGA development, and software engineering.
• Design, implement, debug, and support complex electro-optical and electromechanical systems operating under real-time FPGA control.
• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines for FPGA verification, testing, quality metrics, and release management.
• Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate FPGA development, verification, software development, documentation, root-cause analysis, and system-level debugging.
• Apply broad cross-disciplinary expertise in FPGA design, embedded systems, software engineering, manufacturing, and production support to solve complex engineering challenges and accelerate product development.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering required; Master's degree preferred. Electrical Engineering preferred.
• 5+ years of FPGA RTL development experience using Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• 3+ years of software development experience in C, C++, C#, Python, or similar.
• Strong hands-on experience with QuestaSim, Vivado, and Quartus development environments.
• Proven ability to design and develop complex FPGA-based systems from concept through production, including RTL design, verification, timing closure, bitstream generation, hardware bring-up, and production support.
• Experience implementing DSP and MATLAB algorithms in FPGA hardware is highly desirable.
• Experience integrating FPGA designs with ARM-based SoCs running Linux.
• Solid understanding of clock domain crossing (CDC), synchronization techniques.
• Proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD development workflows.
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted engineering tools to improve development productivity.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently on complex technical challenges.
