This is a high-impact, full-time role focused on accelerating FPGA development by translating algorithmic and system-level requirements into efficient FPGA implementations using C/C++-based design flows., * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field * Demonstrated experience using Vitis HLS or similar High-Level Synthesis tools * Strong C/C++ programming experience for hardware-oriented development * Experience generating VHDL or Verilog from HLS workflows * Familiarity with FPGA development flows including simulation, synthesis, and timing closure * Experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGA platforms and toolchains Preferred Skills and Experience * Experience with high-throughput signal processing, sensor processing, or real-time embedded systems * Experience optimizing HLS pipelines for latency, parallelism, and memory bandwidth * Familiarity with AXI interfaces, DMA, and FPGA-based accelerators * Experience with Vivado and Vitis development environments * Background in aerospace, defense, robotics, or other high-performance embedded systems Leadership Qualities Bias to Action and Creative Problem Solving. Desire and experience questioning assumptions in ways that lead to break through ideas that are ultimately implemented. Successfully bring in applicable processes/concepts/materials from other industries to achieve efficiency gains. Ability to personally resolve minor issues in development without requiring significant support. High Commitment, High Initiative. A successful candidate will have a genuine passion for Castelion's mission and consistently look for ways to contribute to the company's technical goals and prevent hardware blockers. Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere. Strong sense of accountability and integrity. Clear Communicator. Proactively communicates blockers. Trusted in previous roles to be voice of company with regulators, suppliers, gate keepers and customers. Capable of tactfully managing relationships with stakeholders to achieve company-desired outcomes without compromising relationships. Emails, IMs and verbal interactions are logical, drive clarity, and detailed enough to eliminate ambiguity., While this position does not currently require a U.S government-issued security clearance, it may in the near future. Therefore, the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance is required. ## Description You will work closely with our hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to implement and optimize FPGA-based processing capabilities. This role is ideal for an engineer who can ramp quickly, contribute immediately, and deliver optimized hardware implementations in a fast-moving development environment., * Develop FPGA-based implementations using Vitis HLS to generate VHDL/Verilog from C/C++ code * Translate algorithms and system requirements into efficient hardware architectures optimized for performance and latency * Develop and optimize high-level synthesis pipelines and dataflow architectures * Collaborate with software, avionics, and systems engineers to integrate FPGA functionality into embedded platforms * Perform FPGA simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, and hardware validation * Optimize designs for throughput, determinism, and resource utilization * Support hardware integration, board bring-up, and debugging as needed * Contribute to verification and testing of FPGA functionality ## Related Videos - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [Unleash the power of 5G in your code: transform your apps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1567-unleash-the-power-of-5g-in-your-code-transform-your-apps) - [Valven Atlas: Engineering Intelligence That Delivers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1660-valven-atlas-engineering-intelligence-that-delivers) - [C++ in constrained environments](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/441-c-in-constrained-environments) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing)
