Job description

Architecture & Development (VHDL Focused) Own FPGA RTL design using VHDL as the primary HDL. Develop reusable IP blocks including state machines, controllers, DSP modules, and memory interfaces.

Implement deterministic, low latency data paths for diagnostic imaging and acquisition systems.

Translate system requirements into FPGA architecture with complete traceability.

High-Speed I/O & Data Acquisition (MedTech) Implement and validate interfaces for precision ADC/DAC front ends: JESD204B/C, LVDS, MIPI, SPI, I C, UART.

Build high throughput acquisition and buffering pipelines using DDR4/DDR5 and AXI.

Ensure deterministic timing, synchronization, and clocking across modalities (Ultrasound/ CT/MRI/sensing subsystems).

Verification, Timing Closure & Toolflow Develop self checking VHDL testbenches for block and system level verification.

Use ModelSim/QuestaSim, Vivado Simulator, or Riviera PRO for simulation. Perform synthesis, P&R, timing analysis, and closure using Xilinx Vivado (preferred) or Intel Quartus.

Execute linting, CDC/RDC checks, and optimize power and resource utilization.

Debug via ILA/SignalTap, oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers. Compliance, Documentation & Quality Support design controls and documentation for FDA, EU MDR, and global regulatory needs.

Contribute to requirements traceability (Jama/DOORS), risk management (ISO 14971), and verification per IEC 62304 for programmable logic.

Address safety (IEC 60601 1), EMC (IEC 60601 1 2), cybersecurity, FMEA, hazard analysis, and IP/SOUP assessments.

Requirements

Bachelor s or Master s in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related field.
