FPGA Engineer

***This position is fully remote, but must be willing to travel to Colorado for design reviews and testing***

Position Overview

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

Required Qualifications;

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of hands-on FPGA design and development experience
• Strong proficiency in HDL languages (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• Experience with FPGA toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, Microchip Libero)
• Knowledge of digital design principles, RTL design, and hardware interfaces
• Experience with simulation, verification, and debugging tools · Familiarity with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SPI, etc.)
• Ability to work from system-level requirements to implementation and verification

Preferred Qualifications;

• Experience in aerospace (avionics, space) or medical device development
• Familiarity with DO-254, ARINC protocols, or safety-critical development processes
• Experience with DSP algorithms or signal processing on FPGAs
• Programming skills in C/C++ or Python
• Experience with embedded systems and SoC architectures

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset · Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration
• Ability to work in fast-paced, multi-project environments
• Detail-oriented with focus on quality and compliance

Salary Range: $125,000 - $145,000

Location: Remote but must be willing to travel as needed. 

The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate’s combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience

Note: Due to the nature of the work, only US Persons (citizens or permanent residents) need apply for this position.
