What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior FPGA Engineer position at Tech Edge Networks?
We are partnering with an innovative defense electronics company in the Nashua, NH area seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to lead the design, simulation, and integration of high-performance FPGA-based electro-optical systems.
This role is heavily focused on real-time video processing, sensor interfaces, and hardware integration in mission-critical defense applications.
What you’ll do
- Design and implement FPGA-based digital systems from architecture through integration and lab validation
- Develop and optimize RTL using VHDL / Verilog (SystemVerilog a plus)
- Build and support high-speed video and sensor processing pipelines (MIPI, LVDS, camera interfaces)
- Perform simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and hardware bring-up
- Debug complex integration issues using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.)
- Work cross-functionally with hardware and system engineering teams to deliver production-ready systems
Required experience
- 6–10 years FPGA design experience
- Strong proficiency with Xilinx / AMD FPGA toolchains (Vivado preferred)
- Deep RTL design experience (VHDL or Verilog)
- Experience with FPGA simulation, synthesis, and timing closure
- Hands-on lab debug and hardware integration experience
- Experience working with high-speed interfaces (DDR, SERDES, Ethernet, etc.)
Preferred experience
- Video processing / imaging pipelines (MIPI, LVDS, camera sensors)
- Defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical embedded systems
- Board-level hardware familiarity (schematics, bring-up, troubleshooting)
- Experience with SystemVerilog, UVM, or advanced verification methods
