Sr Embedded Systems Engineer

10+ years of experience in embedded systems engineering
Proficient in both Verilog and VHDL
Strong background working with Xilinx SoMs and SoCs in Linux-based development environments
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline
Minimum of 10 years of industry experience in embedded systems and digital hardware design
Proven experience developing FPGA firmware using both Verilog and VHDL
Deep familiarity with Xilinx development tools (Vivado, Vitis, etc.) and Xilinx devices (Zynq SoCs, Ultrascale)
Strong background in developing and debugging embedded Linux environments
Solid understanding of digital design principles, timing closure, and high-speed interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, Ethernet)
Demonstrated experience in architecting embedded control systems and integrating them into hardware platforms

Architect, develop, and maintain HDL code (Verilog and VHDL) for Xilinx System-on-Modules (SoMs) and Systems-on-Chip (SoCs)
Design embedded control systems and digital interfaces, optimizing for low-latency and high-throughput performance
Debug and integrate embedded systems in Linux environments, utilizing command-line tools and kernel-level interfaces where necessary
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware engineers, optical scientists, and software developers to deliver integrated product solutions
Conduct board bring-up, hardware verification, and real-time system debugging with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab tools
Drive the development and refinement of embedded firmware/software frameworks and reusable HDL IP cores
Contribute to system-level architectural decisions and participate in design reviews to ensure scalable, robust, and maintainable designs
Develop automated test benches for simulation and verification of digital logic designs
Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines using Vivado (simulation, synthesis, bitstream generation), and verification frameworks like UVM or CocoTB
Maintain documentation of designs, workflows, and processes in compliance with internal and regulatory standards

Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and bare-metal development
Exposure to Rust or C/C++ for embedded development
Experience implementing DSP algorithms using Xilinx IP blocks and HDL (VHDL/Verilog) on FPGAs for applications such as RF synthesis, filtering, or optical control is a strong plus
Prior experience in regulated environments or defense/aerospace applications
