Employment Type: W-2
Job Description:
- This role focuses on designing, developing, and supporting FPGA-based solutions for advanced robotic and medical systems. The engineer will own RTL design from architecture through validation, working hands-on across the full FPGA development lifecycle, including simulation, timing closure, hardware bring-up, and system-level debugging.
- The position requires close collaboration with hardware, firmware, software, and systems teams in a highly cross-functional, regulated R&D environment to deliver reliable, safety-critical technology.
Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Designing, developing, optimizing, and maintaining FPGA RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog and/or VHDL
Suporting the full FPGA development lifecycle, including synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and bitstream generation - Performing functional simulation, verification, and system-level debugging.
- Supporting board bring-up, testing, integration, and validation.
- Collaborating closely with hardware, firmware, software, and systems engineering teams.
- Documenting design decisions, test results, and process improvements.
- Participating in design reviews and regulated development activities.
- 4+ years of hands-on FPGA design and development experience.
- Strong understanding of digital logic, timing analysis, and debugging.
- Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Experience with FPGA toolchains such as Xilinx Vivado, Lattice Diamond, or equivalent.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific field.
- Robotics design exposure.
- Strong collaboration and communication skill.
Preferred Skills and Experiece:
- Prior experience in medical devices, robotics, or safety-critical systems
- Exposure to regulated environments such as FDA, IEC, or ISO
- End-to-end FPGA ownership from architecture through validation
- Experience debugging real hardware issues beyond simulation
- Familiarity with high-speed protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, or Aurora
- Experience using simulation, verification, and hardware debug tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)
- Cross-functional collaboration with mechanical, systems, or clinical teams
