- Contribute to the full FPGA design, including logic implementation, data movement and analysis, testbenches, compilation, and timing analysis
- Develop register maps and generate documentation to ensure clear design intent to the broader project team
- Contribute to digital design by estimating efforts, providing updates on work status, and proactively identifying and addressing technical risks
- Experience using VHDL and/or SystemVerilog to implement synthesizable logic targeting FPGAs
- Experience writing testbenches and simulation models to verify logic designs
- Familiarity with designing and validating high-speed interfaces (i.e., DDR, PCIe, JESD204, Ethernet)
- Familiarity with common clock domain crossing techniques and timing closure
- Development & Collaboration
- Problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze complex technical challenges
- Ability to collaborate with cross‑disciplinary engineering teams and communicate technical concepts clearly in English to diverse stakeholders
- Static timing analysis and FPGA timing constraints
- Designing clocking architectures, including clock tree design, PLL configuration, and jitter analysis and mitigation techniques for high-speed digital systems
- Familiarity with Xilinx, Intel or Lattice FPGAs and CPLDs, and associated toolchains
- Scripting or programming languages (e.g., LabVIEW, Python) for hardware testing and automation
- Hands‑on experience using lab tools for FPGA bring‑up and debugging is a plus
- Hands-on experience with software defined radios
