Lead FPGA Engineer - Innovative Tech Firm

Staff/ Lead FPGA Engineer - Innovative Tech Firm

We are building the world’s first software-defined, autonomous 3D printing factories—unlocking the speed, precision, and scale needed to transform manufacturing across industries. By combining advanced sensing, real-time control systems, and AI-driven learning, we deliver flawless, digitally verified metal components at unmatched scale and efficiency. This role is central to making that vision possible.

As a Staff / Lead FPGA Engineer
, you will architect and deliver high-performance compute platforms at the heart of next-generation intelligent manufacturing. You’ll harness the power of advanced FPGAs, such as the Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC, to push the limits of throughput and latency in image processing and real-time machine learning acceleration. Collaborating across software, hardware, and process engineering disciplines, you will create novel FPGA-based solutions that form the core IP of our platform.

This is a high-impact role where your work will directly influence how advanced manufacturing scales globally.

• Design and implement FPGA architectures that drive ultra-low latency, high-throughput image processing pipelines.
• Integrate FPGA platforms with GPUs to enable next-generation heterogeneous compute for AI-driven manufacturing.
• Develop custom algorithms for signal processing, logic components, and controllers deployed on FPGAs.
• Lead cross-functional engineering initiatives to push the boundaries of FPGA innovation in collaboration with software and hardware teams.
• Apply advanced system-level design approaches to create scalable, reliable, and performance-optimized solutions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of professional experience in FPGA development using System Verilog or VHDL.
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx Vivado/Vitis tool chains.
• Proficiency in high-speed I/O, board bring-up, and hardware-centric FPGA development environments.

• Master’s degree in a related technical discipline.
• Experience with advanced image processing or DSP pipelines.
• Hands-on knowledge of Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC.
• Background in embedded software development, embedded Linux, or SoC-based architectures.
• Experience implementing mathematical and computational algorithms on FPGAs.
• Exposure to heterogeneous computing systems, high-speed data acquisition, and integration with GPUs.
• Programming familiarity with C, C++, or other higher-level languages.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a creative and analytical problem-solving mindset.

This role is based in Hawthorne, CA, at a modern 35,000 sq. ft. facility designed for collaboration, R&D, and large-scale production. The site is strategically located within Los Angeles’ fast-growing tech ecosystem.

• Be part of a mission-driven team scaling world-changing technology in advanced manufacturing.
• Work in a culture that values collaboration, innovation, and data-driven decision-making.
• Contribute to groundbreaking technology that combines AI, hardware, and high-performance computing.

• Compensation: $150,000–$400,000+ annually (dependent on experience, expertise, and technical depth), plus a significant stock option package.
• Health & Wellness: 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance with PPO and HMO options, plus life insurance coverage.
• Retirement:
  Traditional and Roth 401(k) plans.
• Time Off:
  Paid vacation, sick leave, company holidays, and generous parental leave with transition support.
• Perks:
  Daily catered meals, stocked kitchen, flexible work hours, casual dress, relocation assistance, and regular team-building events.

This is more than an engineering role—it’s an opportunity to help define the future of manufacturing and high-performance computing, building technology that will shape industries for decades to come.
