    Job Description

    FPGA Engineer

    Our client is seeking an FPGA Engineer to design and develop high-performance hardware solutions that support mission-critical, latency-sensitive systems. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and infrastructure, offering the opportunity to tackle complex technical challenges and influence system architecture from concept through deployment.

    Responsibilities

    • Design, implement, and optimize FPGA-based solutions for performance-sensitive applications.
    • Evaluate emerging hardware technologies and architectures to identify opportunities for increased efficiency, scalability, and reduced latency.
    • Collaborate closely with engineers across software, infrastructure, and product-focused teams to deliver integrated solutions.
    • Develop custom hardware interfaces and ensure compatibility with next-generation compute and networking platforms.
    • Participate in hardware bring-up, system validation, performance tuning, and troubleshooting efforts.
    • Work with external vendors and technology partners to evaluate products and drive successful integrations.

    Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
    • Hands-on experience designing and verifying FPGA and/or ASIC-based systems.
    • Proficiency in RTL development using languages such as Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
    • Experience with synthesis, timing closure, constraints development, and hardware optimization techniques.
    • Familiarity with simulation environments, verification methodologies, and testbench development.
    • Exposure to board-level debugging, silicon validation, or hardware bring-up is highly desirable.
    • Experience programming in C or C++ is preferred.
    • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively across hardware and software disciplines.

    Preferred Background

    • Experience developing hardware for networking, high-throughput data processing, distributed systems, or performance-critical infrastructure.
    • Familiarity with PCIe, Ethernet, memory interfaces, or accelerator technologies is a plus.
    • Interest in solving complex engineering challenges where performance, reliability, and scalability are critical.
