• Experience: 5 – 7 Years

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior FPGA RTL Design Engineer to contribute to IP and subsystem development across high-performance FPGA-based systems. The role involves end-to-end ownership from architecture definition to implementation, validation, and deployment. The candidate will work on complex designs involving high-speed interfaces, DSP algorithms, and FPGA prototyping.

Key Responsibilities

• Own FPGA design projects from concept to delivery, including planning, risk management, and design reviews
• Define micro-architecture for IP/subsystems and integrate third-party IP blocks
• Partition algorithms between FPGA and software implementations
• Estimate FPGA resource utilization, memory, and bandwidth requirements
• Perform RTL design, synthesis, implementation, and timing closure on Xilinx FPGAs
• Develop module-level designs including coding, simulation, and verification
• Conduct peer reviews and ensure design quality and compliance
• Work on high-speed interfaces such as AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204B/C, DDR4, SPI, I2C, UART
• Handle multi-clock domain designs and asynchronous communication challenges
• Support system integration, validation, and production deployments
• Perform on-board debugging using hardware tools and protocol analyzers
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams during development and deployment phases
• Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5–7 years of hands-on experience in FPGA RTL design and development
• Strong understanding of digital design and FPGA architecture
