FPGA Engineer

Location: Boston, MA Work Type: Full-time, On-site

Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated FPGA Engineer to join our cutting-edge robotics team focused on developing advanced camera and vision systems for next-generation robotic platforms. In this role, you will design, develop, and optimize FPGA-based systems and IP cores that enable high-performance signal processing and system integration.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in FPGA development, digital signal processing, and embedded systems. You thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and are passionate about building robust, scalable hardware solutions that power intelligent automation.

Note: This role is based in a hands-on lab environment rather than a traditional quiet office setting. Candidates should be comfortable working in a space with moderate background noise and active equipment in use.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop FPGA configurations and IP cores for high-performance camera and vision systems.
• Implement signal processing algorithms using Verilog and other HDL tools.
• Use simulation and verification frameworks to ensure mathematically correct logic before hardware deployment.
• Collaborate with software and embedded systems engineers to integrate FPGA designs into larger systems.
• Develop embedded software-based testing solutions to validate FPGA functionality.
• Optimize FPGA designs for timing, resource utilization, and throughput.
• Identify and resolve system bottlenecks and performance issues.
• Ensure seamless integration of internally developed and third-party IP cores.
• Contribute to system-level architecture and design discussions.
• Troubleshoot and debug FPGA designs using industry-standard tools and lab equipment.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Professional experience in FPGA development: RTL design, verification, timing analysis, lab bring-up, and validation.
• Proficiency in Verilog and digital design principles.
• Strong understanding of DSP fundamentals and their implementation on FPGAs.
• Familiarity with computing and processor architectures.
• Experience with simulation and verification tools.
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Strong communication and technical documentation abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces such as GSML, MIPI, I2C, and SPI.
• Background in camera systems or vision-based robotics.
• Familiarity with embedded systems and software-hardware co-design.
• Experience with system-level integration and architecture planning.
• Proficiency with FPGA development tools (e.g., Vivado, Quartus).
• Enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced, agile development environment.
