Senior FPGA Design Engineer - Powering Autonomous Vehicles

FPGA Design Engineer

Overview

We are looking for a highly motivated FPGA Design Engineer to contribute to the development of advanced digital systems. In this role, you will own the design and verification of FPGA-based solutions, from architecture and RTL coding through integration and testing. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, customer-focused features that push the limits of digital design and embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Feature Development: Define, implement, and validate new functionality across the FPGA stack, ensuring robust performance and scalability.
• Core FPGA Design: Work on RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and high-speed digital logic, including DSP algorithm implementation and verification.
• System Integration: Partner with embedded software, ASIC/FPGA engineers, and system architects to develop seamless interfaces and end-to-end solutions.
• Testing & Debugging: Perform board bring-up, troubleshoot hardware issues, and use lab tools to validate and refine designs.
• Customer Impact: Integrate customer feedback into FPGA features, ensuring functionality aligns with real-world applications and performance needs.
• Automation & Efficiency: Create scripts and workflows to optimize repetitive tasks, improving reliability and engineering velocity.
  
  

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent; Master’s degree strongly preferred.
• 5 years of FPGA development experience, including HDL coding, simulation, testbench creation, synthesis, and timing closure.
• Expertise in Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL for RTL design.
• Proficiency in C or C for embedded development and integration.
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel FPGA toolchains.
• Strong background in embedded systems using FPGA-based SoCs such as Xilinx Zynq or Intel Arria.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-level synthesis (HLS) and tools such as Vivado or Vitis.
• Background in DSP design and algorithm development.
• Knowledge of advanced verification methodologies, including UVM.
• Strong familiarity with version control tools such as Git.
• Experienced Linux user with scripting expertise in Python, TCL, or Bash.
• Exposure to industrial safety systems and functional safety development processes.
  
  

This role offers the opportunity to design FPGA systems that directly influence high-impact products while working alongside a team of talented engineers. If you thrive on solving complex design challenges and want to contribute to cutting-edge hardware systems, we’d love to connect with you.
