As an FPGA Design Engineer at our company, you will join a dynamic team focused on advancing real-time imaging systems using Xilinx Zynq SoC/MPSoC platforms. Your primary responsibilities include designing and implementing FPGA logic for camera sensor interfaces and image processing pipelines, developing RTL modules in VHDL/Verilog, and integrating custom IP cores. You will also work closely with hardware engineers to bring up PCBs, debug issues, and validate board-level interfaces such as DDR and high-speed IOs. Additionally, you will collaborate on system integration by configuring PS-PL interfaces and working with embedded developers to integrate FPGA logic with Linux applications. The ideal candidate has 5-8 years of experience in EE or a related field, proficiency in Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+, and strong knowledge of AXI, xDMA, frame buffers, and high-speed IOs.
Design and implement FPGA logic using Vivado for Zynq SoC/MPSoC platforms.
Develop RTL modules in VHDL/Verilog for real-time imaging applications on FPGAs.
Integrate and optimize CMOS camera sensor interfaces and image processing pipelines.
Participate in PCB bring-up, debug hardware issues, and validate board-level interfaces.
Create simulation testbenches, perform hardware debugging, and conduct performance tuning.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in EE/Computer Engineering or related field.
5-8 years of experience with Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ and FPGA development.
