## Description

We are seeking a FPGA Electrical Engineer to support aerospace and medtech programs involving safety-critical embedded systems and high-performance digital hardware. This role will focus on FPGA design, verification, and integration for advanced applications such as avionics systems, imaging systems, and medical devices.

As FPGA Engineer you will be responsible for;

 * Design, develop, and implement FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog
 * Own the full FPGA lifecycle: requirements, architecture, RTL development, simulation, synthesis, and validation
 * Develop and execute verification strategies, including testbenches and simulation-based validation
 * Perform timing analysis, place-and-route, and optimization using industry tools (Vivado, Quartus, Libero)
 * Integrate FPGA designs into hardware platforms and support system bring-up and lab validation
 * Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, hardware, software, and test engineers
 * Support compliance with industry standards (e.g., DO-254 for aerospace, FDA/ISO for medical devices)
 * Troubleshoot complex hardware/firmware issues during development and testing
 * Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives
