Job Title: FPGA Engineer

Job Description

Seeking an FPGA Engineer to lead and innovate in the design and development of new products. The role involves implementing product specifications that align with market success in terms of technical performance, cost, and timeliness. You will lead engineering teams through architectural designs, handle large-scale hardware designs, and play a crucial role in planning and risk management. Additionally, you will support the maintenance of existing products and continuously improve engineering processes and products by implementing new methods and technologies.

Primary/Essential Duties:

Product Specifications: Implement innovative approaches and develop clearly written design specifications that ensure products are designed to succeed in the market relative to their technical performance, feature set, cost and time to market goals.

Architecture: Facilitate the design of complex products by leading and coordinating engineering teams of varied technical disciplines through clearly documented architectural level design documents. Lead the decision and tradeoff process for issues that cross hardware/software or other technical discipline boundaries.

Design (and Develop): Perform original and innovative hardware design and distill large-scale designs into architectural elements that facilitate the division of design work to teams of two or more engineers.

Planning: Develop plans, schedules, and identify resources required to develop products from market requirement through product release. Identify risk areas and develop contingency plans to eliminate or mitigate risk that could result in schedule delays or failure to meet specification or design plan requirements.

Innovation: Conceive methods for achieving product requirements and specifications using appropriate hardware architecture and design techniques. Anticipate possible difficulties and develop alternate methods.

Maintenance: Provide support for maintaining existing products by investigating and resolving defect reports, creating documentation, and creating and releasing new versions of hardware packages.

Continuous Improvement: Take the initiative to research, develop, propose, evaluate and/or implement new methods, processes, techniques, tools, components, or technology that improve quality, timeliness and/or performance of products or the efficiency or cost effectiveness of engineering work. Modify existing SOPs or create new SOPs to implement new processes.
