Our engineering work is very hands-on and collaborative as we design, prototype, test, and industrialize computing products for a variety of applications and customers. We are expanding our engineering team and are looking for an experienced FPGA firmware design engineer who can join our team in Duluth, Georgia. If you have strong firmware design abilities and the interpersonal skills needed to effectively collaborate and support our product development activities, then read on. ScioTeq Rugged Smart Display and Computer products are designed to provide high computing and video processing performance in extreme operating environments governed by MIL STD and EN military specifications. Designed with the latest commercially available CPU modules, we use FPGA's to handle HMI interfaces, coordinate I/O and perform low latency video processing. These products are rarely sold as "off the shelf" products. Customers typically require customization for their specific applications and requirements. This often requires creative problem solving, coordination with hardware and software engineers, and adaptable firmware designs. The FPGA Firmware Engineer has the following main responsibilities: * FPGA firmware implementation of feature requirements for new products and custom features * Development of FPGA based video processing algorithms * Develop and execute simulation testbenches for functional verification * Troubleshooting and problem resolution for existing product issues * Collaborate with PCB/hardware engineers on pinout, power, and signal integrity requirements * Write and maintain design documentation, including block diagrams and interface specifications * Provide firmware configuration management and release schedules * Research toward related emerging FPGA technologies and tools ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [The Gashlycrumb Tinies of AI Networking You Must Know (or Languish!)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2067-the-gashlycrumb-tinies-of-ai-networking-you-must-know-or-languish) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Quantum Computing - The tiny and the big challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/934-quantum-computing-the-tiny-and-the-big-challenges) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Dev Digest 188: CfP time, the risks of NPM and IKEA algorithms](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/635-dev-digest-188-cfp-time-the-risks-of-npm-and-ikea-algorithms) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges)
