FPGA Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Robust performant hardware design from inception (spec, architecture, micro-architecture) to productization (validation, FPGA implementation, deployment, support).
• Supporting Electrical Hardware and/or Firmware activities on projects.
• Responsible for hardware development including custom PCB schematic and layout, wiring, OTS component identification, and documentation.
• Responsible for electrical hardware and architecture, and test plans, including simulation.
• Responsible for developing and maintaining test and diagnostics hardware and software.
• Responsible for working directly with customers to meet required project schedules and deliverables.
• Responsible for working with manufacturers for product launches.
• Responsible for working alongside other disciplines as a team member in order to develop products in an efficient and collaborative manner.
• Responsible for using tools such as oscilloscopes, meters, assembly equipment, etc. associated with hardware prototype development, testing, and troubleshooting.
