FPGA Engineer

• Integrate an existing MRI gradient driver FPGA prototype into a production MR platform
• Assume ownership and further development of VHDL-based FPGA designs for real-time control of high-voltage power electronics, including 800V switching systems and gradient control functions
• Design, implement, and optimize synchronous digital logic, including PWM-based control, state machines, and timing analysis
• Perform FPGA-based hardware integration, bring-up, debugging, and validation
• Support the transition of systems from laboratory prototype to production-ready medical equipment, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for MR system integration, troubleshooting, and documentation
• Document design processes, test results, and support regulatory compliance for medical device production
• Independently assume ownership of an existing FPGA code base with limited ramp-up time

Our client is seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to lead the integration of an existing MRI gradient driver prototype into a production MR platform. In this pivotal role, you will assume full ownership of a VHDL-based FPGA design responsible for real-time control of high-voltage power electronics, including 800V switching systems and gradient control functions. You will drive FPGA development, synchronous digital design, PWM-based control, MR system integration, debugging, validation, and support the transition from laboratory prototype to production-ready medical equipment. This position requires deep technical expertise, a hands-on approach, and the ability to work independently in a high-reliability environment., * 10+ years of FPGA and digital design experience

• Strong VHDL development experience (required)
• Experience with Intel/Altera FPGA platforms and Quartus development tools
• Deep understanding of synchronous digital design, clocked systems, state machines, timing analysis, and deterministic real-time control
• Experience implementing PWM and switching control logic in FPGA-based systems
• Experience supporting power electronics, motor control, inverter control, power conversion, or other high-power real-time control applications
• FPGA-based hardware integration, bring-up, debugging, and validation experience
• Experience transitioning products from prototype to production environments
• Working knowledge of embedded C (preferred)
• Ability to independently assume ownership of an existing FPGA code base with limited ramp-up
• Experience in medical, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability systems (preferred)

• Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans
• Health Savings Account (HSA) and Dependent Care FSA
• Supplemental coverage options to fit your needs
• 401k plan with company match and full vesting upon eligibility
• Paid time off, sick time, and paid company holidays
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering virtual counseling, financial services, legal services, life coaching, and more
