We are looking for an experienced FPGA Engineer to join our hardware development team. As an FPGA Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and testing digital systems using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). You will work closely with hardware and software engineers to develop high-performance, reliable, and scalable solutions for a variety of applications, including telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, and industrial automation.
Your primary duties will include writing HDL code (VHDL or Verilog), simulating and verifying designs, integrating IP cores, and optimizing performance for timing and resource utilization. You will also be involved in system-level design, including interfacing with microprocessors, memory, and peripheral devices. A strong understanding of digital logic design, signal processing, and embedded systems is essential for success in this role.
The ideal candidate will have a solid background in electrical or computer engineering, with hands-on experience in FPGA development tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, or Lattice Diamond. Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Tcl), version control systems (e.g., Git), and hardware debugging tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) is highly desirable.
This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies and contribute to the development of innovative products. You will be part of a collaborative and dynamic team that values creativity, technical excellence, and continuous learning. If you are passionate about digital design and enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, we encourage you to apply.
