FPGA SoC Embedded Engineer (RTOS, Xilinx/Intel)

We are seeking an embedded engineer to develop real-time software on advanced SoC platforms. This role involves building firmware, working with RTOS-based systems, and interacting closely with FPGA and hardware components. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms and is comfortable working across the hardware/software boundary.

Responsibilities:

• Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for SoC systems
• Work with real-time operating systems and multi-threaded applications
• Implement low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
• Debug system-level issues involving hardware and software interaction
• Interface with FPGA designs, including register access, control paths, and data movement
• Collaborate closely with FPGA and hardware teams

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• Experience with at least one real-time operating system (mandatory)
• Strong C/C++ programming skills
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms (mandatory)
• Understanding of interrupts, scheduling, and embedded systems

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with Zephyr
• Familiarity with Embedded Linux
• Experience with JTAG or low-level debugging tools
• Knowledge of hardware/software interfaces (e.g., memory-mapped I/O, DMA)
• Knowledge of 5G PHY and MAC layer concepts (desirable)

What Success Looks Like:

• Ability to build stable real-time applications on FPGA SoC platforms
• Clearly understands the hardware/software boundary
• Debugs efficiently across system layers
• Executes effectively and adapts quickly

Additional Requirements

This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
