- Hardware & FPGA

Are you passionate about Hardware Engineering?

Do you enjoy being part of a Successful Team?

Join our Waygate Team

The Waygate Technologies site in Skaneateles, NY specializes in Remote Visual Inspection equipment, with our industrial borescope leading the world with our measurement capability. A typical application would use our borescopes to peer inside the combustion chamber of a jet engine to locate and measure a dent, crack, or other defect to within several thousandths of an inch! Everything is located right in Skaneateles, NY, from R&D, manufacturing, software development, and repair leading to constant collaboration between teams.

As a R&D Electrical Engineer
- Hardware & FPGA, you will help our team develop and test advanced hand‑held remote visual inspection (RVI) hardware. Depending on your skills, you will be assisting in various aspects of the team’s work, including design and development of embedded software for control and visualization via a combination of digital signal processors (DSP’s), x86/x64 multicore CPU’s, and current, generation graphics processing units (GPU’s), with an emphasis on design for testability and validation automation.

• Optimizing designs within FPGA resource constraints, resolving timing issues, documenting FPGA design and build / deploy processes. Desired experience would include developing Linux drivers for FPGA IP in a Xilinx petalinux environment

• Design and develop the electrical systems for our world-class video borescopes.
• Develop electrical architectures and detailed electrical designs, mainly through circuit board design in the Altium toolset. The primary design challenges are low noise, high bandwidth circuitry, lowest reasonable power, wired and wireless connectivity, digital signal processing, and other typical battery-operated system paradigms. We also develop robust designs for the exclusive use of our factories.
• Devise and execute cross‑functional (HW, SW, Mechanical) experiments to alleviate high‑risk portions of designs, thereby enabling programs to launch on time.
• Develop and execute electronic manufacturing tests to ensure a high‑quality product delivery to our mission‑critical customer base.
• Document products and technical data generated consistent with engineering policies and procedures.
• As a part of a project team on execute activities including troubleshooting, validation, testing, experimentation, and test reporting.
• Mentor junior engineers (dependent on experience level)
• Work with production engineering and production associate's in real‑time resolution of hardware issues.

To be successful in this role you will:

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related engineering degree from an accredited college or university
• 4+ years of applicable, professional experience
• Experience in FPGA Programming in VHDL and Verilog
• Experience in Electronic Circuit Design and Test preferred
• Domestic (US) Relocation available to out of state candidates

We recognize that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:

• The position requires individuals to be on-site so they can work with the various design and development teams along with supporting the manufacturing operations.
• Working hours are Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM

Our people are at the heart of what we do at Baker Hughes. We know we are better when all of our people are developed, engaged and able to bring their whole authentic selves to work. We…
