## About the Role

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)

## Description

* 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
