Job Description

You will be the FPGA Design Engineer for our team, responsible for designing, developing, and implementing solutions using Field‑Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Our team is responsible for creating innovative systems that drive business growth and customer satisfaction.

As the FPGA Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing FPGA‑based systems. Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead the development of a complex FPGA‑based architecture, including specification, design, verification, and implementation
• Develop trade studies to select an FPGA solution optimized for device utilization, power and thermal requirements
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including software, hardware, and systems engineering to develop an optimal architecture and develop FPGA requirements
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers
• Lead the team through the Design Architecture development process

We’re looking for a talented and detail‑oriented FPGA Design Engineer to join our team. As an ideal candidate, you’re an experienced FPGA engineer with a strong background in FPGA design, development, and implementation. You’re a team player with excellent communication skills, able to work effectively with multiple stakeholders and coordinate complex projects. Prior experience with AMD/Xilinx FPGAs, UVM, and Git Lab is a plus.

If you’re passionate about designing and developing innovative video processing solutions and working with a talented team, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
