Junior FPGA Engineer

About the role

As a Junior FPGA Engineer, you will join our specialized hardware team to develop the high-speed digital logic that powers our autonomous platforms. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and testing FPGA-based solutions that process complex signals in real-time.

What you'll do

• RTL Design: Develop and maintain high-speed digital logic using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• Verification: Create testbenches and run functional simulations to validate design behavior.
• Hardware Debugging: Use lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers) and on-chip debugging tools (ILA/Signal Tap) to troubleshoot physical hardware.
• Integration: Collaborate with Electronics and Software teams to define FPGA pinouts, review schematics, and develop interface APIs.
• IP Management: Integrate and configure third-party IP cores and interface with high-speed ADCs/DACs.
• Documentation: Maintain clear design specifications, register maps, and version-controlled HDL repositories.

What you'll need

• Proficiency in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
• Experience with FPGA vendor tools (e.g., Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus).
• Understanding of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) fundamentals.
• Basic experience with simulation tools (e.g., ModelSim, Questa).
• Familiarity with common hardware interfaces (AXI, SPI, I2C, UART).
• Competency in Python or C/C++ for scripting and testing support.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering.
• 0-2 years of experience (relevant internships or personal hardware projects are highly valued).

Nice to have

• Knowledge of System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures (e.g., Zynq).
• Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
• Interest in software-defined radio (SDR) architectures.
