Lead Engineer; FPGA

Be Part of Our Success System Engineering Duties

Elicit, analyze, and manage system-level requirements. Define system architecture and allocate requirements to hardware, software, and FPGA subsystems. Develop system verification plans and traceability matrices. Conduct trade‑off studies (performance, power, cost, schedule) for FPGA vs. other processing solutions (DSP, GPU, MCU). Lead design reviews and interface with customers on technical specifications.

Architect, code (VHDL/Verilog), simulate, and implement FPGA designs on Xilinx or Intel platforms. Perform synthesis, place‑and‑route, timing closure, and power analysis. Develop test benches and verification environments (including self‑checking and coverage‑driven verification). Integrate IP cores (third‑party or legacy) and design custom interfaces (PCIe, JESD
204B, Ethernet, ADC/DAC controllers). Debug FPGA‑related system issues using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and JTAG debuggers.

Support hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) testing and system‑level integration. Work alongside software engineers to validate driver and firmware interactions. Generate documentation, requirements specification, design description, verification report, and user manual.

Prepare comprehensive firmware/software documentation by converting software and interface requirements into clear and concise development specifications.
