We are seeking a seasoned FPGA Architect with a minimum of 10 years of experience to lead the design and development of FPGA-based platforms that support internal testing and validation of our precision, high-performance MEMS timing products. This role is critical to developing robust infrastructure for frequency measurement, low phase noise and low jitter characterization, production, and system-level validation

Architect and implement scalable FPGA solutions for internal hardware platforms used in MEMS timing product testing
Lead cross-functional technical initiatives involving CMOS design, MEMS design, systems and test engineering, validation, and production teams
Define and drive system-level requirements, ensuring alignment across hardware, software, and test domains
Own the full FPGA lifecycle: architecture, RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and bring-up
Develop reusable IP blocks and maintain a modular, maintainable FPGA infrastructure
Champion design reviews, documentation standards, and continuous improvement practices
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and influence strategic direction across multiple programs
Act as a key technical liaison between engineering, product, and operations teams to ensure seamless integration and execution

MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
10+ years of hands-on experience in FPGA architecture and development (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, or similar)
Deep expertise in Verilog/VHDL, simulation tools (ModelSim, Vivado, etc.), and scripting (Python, TCL)
Proven track record in designing systems with low jitter, low phase noise, and high signal fidelity
Strong understanding of timing analysis, clock domain crossing, and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, SERDES)
Experience with lab bring-up, debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes), and test automation
Demonstrated leadership in driving cross-functional initiatives and delivering complex technical programs
Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills

Experience in MEMS or timing product domains
Familiarity with hardware/software co-design and embedded systems
Exposure to production test environments and ATE systems
Experience presenting technical strategies and outcomes to executive leadership
