If you love working on fun projects big and small, are excited about finding solutions to problems, like working with amazingly genuine people, this is the place for you.

We are looking for a few exceptional engineers who love what they do and want to work with others who are just as passionate about engineering. We think we have the best work environment out there but apply for a position and come take a look.
Position Summary: We are seeking a versatile and motivated FPGA Dev Ops Engineer to join our Embedded Systems team. In this role, you will operate AMD Vitis and Vivado tools while integrating them into a modern, automated Dev Ops infrastructure
. You will help bridge the gap between hardware design and CI/CD automation, enabling scalable, reproducible, and high-quality delivery of FPGA and embedded systems.
Key Responsibilities:

• Operate and maintain AMD Vivado and Vitis tool chains for FPGA/SoC development (Zynq, Versal).
• Automate synthesis, implementation, IP integration, bitstream generation, and platform export using Tcl and Python
  .
• Design, implement, and maintain Dev Ops pipelines using tools such as Git Lab CI
  , Jenkins
  , or Git Hub Actions
  , with workflows described in YAML
  .
• Integrate HDL/RTL codebases (Verilog/VHDL/System Verilog) into version-controlled, testable, and deployable pipelines.
• Develop robust scripting and automation solutions for toolchain orchestration, artifact packaging, and deployment.
• Support and extend build/test infrastructure for both firmware and hardware components across heterogeneous targets.
• Maintain consistent and reproducible environments using containers (

• Familiarity with Linux environments and Bash scripting.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with AMD Versal ACAP and Zynq Ultrascale+ devices.
• Exposure to embedded Linux
  , , or Peta Linux build systems.
• Experience deploying Dev Ops solutions using Docker
  , Podman
  , or similar containerization tools.
• Familiarity with Ansible
  , Terraform
  , or other infrastructure-as-code solutions.
