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
  • Supporting 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

Required Skills and Experience:
  • 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 Experience:
  • 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
