## Description

We're hiring an FPGA Engineer to develop the digital logic behind our sensing systems. You'll own FPGA designs for high-speed data acquisition, signal processing, timing, and hardware interfaces, taking them from architecture and simulation through implementation and field testing.

You'll work closely with RF, electrical, signal processing, and embedded systems engineers to turn sensor data into usable information in real time. We're looking for someone who can design reliable logic, close timing, and debug the implementation on hardware.

What You'll Do

 * Design and implement FPGA logic for sensor data acquisition, signal processing, and control.
 * Work with signal processing engineers to translate algorithms into efficient, verified hardware implementations.
 * Build streaming data pipelines that meet throughput, latency, and resource requirements.
 * Integrate high-speed ADCs, DACs, memory, and communications interfaces.
 * Develop testbenches and simulations to verify functionality before hardware testing.
 * Own synthesis, implementation, timing constraints, and timing closure for your designs.
 * Design reliable clock-domain crossings, reset sequences, and synchronization between components.
 * Bring up new hardware alongside electrical and embedded systems engineers.
 * Debug data integrity, interface, and timing issues using lab equipment and FPGA debug tools.
 * Document interfaces, resource utilization, and performance results, and maintain repeatable verification workflows.
