Requirements
- 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
Responsibilities
- 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
Preferred Qualifications
- 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
