About the role
- We are seeking an FPGA Electrical Engineer to support aerospace and medtech programs involving safety-critical embedded systems and high-performance digital hardware.
- This role will focus on FPGA design, verification, and integration for advanced applications such as avionics systems, imaging systems, and medical devices.
Responsibilities
- 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
Requirements
- 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
