In this role, you’ll take projects from concept through to production, working on advanced FPGA platforms and complex hardware designs. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure highly optimized, reliable, and production-ready systems that push the limits of performance.

• Lead FPGA and hardware design efforts from architecture and requirements definition through implementation, testing, and validation
• Define system requirements, select components, and contribute to schematic and board-level design decisions
• Develop, verify, and debug FPGA-based solutions, including UHD-SDI, high-speed transceivers, DDR interfaces, and related high-bandwidth data paths
• Support the full product development lifecycle, including design documentation, QA, integration, and customer-facing technical support
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and systems teams to deliver optimized, real-time, production-ready solutions

• Must be based in Ontario, Canada and able to work on-site in Ottawa as required

• Strong RTL design and FPGA development experience using VHDL and/or Verilog
• Hands-on experience with modern FPGA platforms and tool chains such as Xilinx and/or Intel (Altera)
• Solid circuit design experience, including power and signal integrity and/or microprocessor-based board design

• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) in video, audio, or image processing applications
• Experience in high-volume data processing, compression, and parallel processing for 4K or other high-resolution video systems
• Experience with SoC integration, clock domain analysis, and timing closure for FPGA designs
• Experience with C/C++ or Java, scripting languages, and/or broadcast video workflows
• Proficiency using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and waveform monitors for hardware and FPGA debugging
