About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated FPGA Engineer to join our cutting-edge robotics team focused on developing advanced camera and vision systems for next-generation robotic platforms. In this role, you will design, develop, and optimize FPGA-based systems and IP cores that enable high-performance signal processing and system integration. The ideal candidate has a strong background in FPGA development, digital signal processing, and embedded systems. You thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and are passionate about building robust, scalable hardware solutions that power intelligent automation. Note: This role is based in a hands-on lab environment rather than a traditional quiet office setting. Candidates should be comfortable working in a space with moderate background noise and active equipment in use.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
Professional experience in FPGA development: RTL design, verification, timing analysis, lab bring-up, and validation.
Proficiency in Verilog and digital design principles.
Strong understanding of DSP fundamentals and their implementation on FPGAs.
Familiarity with computing and processor architectures.
Experience with simulation and verification tools.
Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.
Strong communication and technical documentation abilities.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
Experience with high-speed interfaces such as GSML, MIPI, I2C, and SPI.
Background in camera systems or vision-based robotics.
Familiarity with embedded systems and software-hardware co-design.
Experience with system-level integration and architecture planning.
Proficiency with FPGA development tools (e.g., Vivado, Quartus).
Enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced, agile development environment.

Responsibilities

Design and develop FPGA configurations and IP cores for high-performance camera and vision systems.
Implement signal processing algorithms using Verilog and other HDL tools.
Use simulation and verification frameworks to ensure mathematically correct logic before hardware deployment.
Collaborate with software and embedded systems engineers to integrate FPGA designs into larger systems.
Develop embedded software-based testing solutions to validate FPGA functionality.
Optimize FPGA designs for timing, resource utilization, and throughput.
Identify and resolve system bottlenecks and performance issues.
Ensure seamless integration of internally developed and third-party IP cores.
Contribute to system-level architecture and design discussions.
Troubleshoot and debug FPGA designs using industry-standard tools and lab equipment.
