OtherFpga Engineer

This role offers the opportunity to develop advanced FPGA-based processing solutions for communications and networking systems in a highly collaborative engineering environment. You will work across RF, DSP, firmware, software, and test disciplines to take embedded solutions from algorithms and requirements through architecture, implementation, verification, and production. The position combines hands-on FPGA development with system-level integration and lifecycle ownership. You will help establish robust workflows and engineering practices across HDL development, simulation, verification, and testing. The role also provides exposure to low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, SoMs, embedded processors, and complex communications hardware. It is well suited to an experienced engineer who enjoys solving challenging embedded systems problems and contributing to high-reliability technology.

Collaborate with RF, DSP, firmware, software, FPGA, and test engineers to deliver robust embedded processing solutions for communications and networking systems.
Own FPGA firmware development from MATLAB and/or Simulink algorithms and requirements definition through architecture, design, implementation, verification, integration, support, and sustainment.
Develop and optimize FPGA implementations for low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs.
Establish and improve development workflows and engineering best practices covering HDL architecture, design, simulation, verification, and system-level testing.
Develop microprocessor interface control documents (ICDs) supporting FPGA integration with message and data-handling architectures.
Support hardware and embedded systems development from initial concept through production and ongoing system sustainment.
Test, troubleshoot, and integrate FPGA and embedded solutions across complex communications hardware and PCB assemblies.
