Job description

We are supporting a fast-growing semiconductor and hardware company focused on Edge AI and intelligent computing systems, developing advanced platforms where performance, security, power efficiency, and real-world deployment are critical. They are looking to add a Senior FPGA Engineer to their engineering team, working on complex FPGA-enabled systems that combine embedded processing, hardware integration, and intelligent electronics.

Requirements

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working beyond pure RTL design and wants to be involved in the complete system. You’ll work across FPGA integration, embedded interfaces, board bring-up, hardware validation, and prototype development, helping turn innovative concepts into reliable working systems. Working alongside FPGA, software, AI, and electronics engineers, you’ll contribute to system architecture, interface development, lab-based debugging, and hardware/software integration. The role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, offering the opportunity to mentor others and influence engineering best practices within a growing team. They are looking for a Senior FPGA Engineer with the following background: Strong FPGA development experience using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog Experience with FPGA toolchains such as Vivado Hardware bring-up, validation, and lab debugging experience Understanding of embedded processors, firmware interfaces, and SoC-based systems Experience working across hardware, software, and system-level integration Ability to take ownership of technical delivery and mentor junior engineers Experience with Zynq, RISC-V, Python, Embedded C/C++, Ethernet, PCIe, SPI, or edge computing platforms would be advantageous.
