Principal Engineer, FPGA

What you'll do

• Own the FPGA architecture for image acquisition, processing, and data movement across sensors, memory, and display systems.
• Design and optimize FPGA logic focusing on timing closure, resource efficiency, and scalability.
• Develop and integrate FPGA IP for high-speed video interfaces, DMA, and control paths.
• Maintain Linux kernel drivers and low-level software within a Xilinx Petalinux environment.
• Define hardware/software partitioning and system interfaces between the FPGA, CPU, and GPU/DSP components.
• Perform system bring-up, debugging, and performance tuning across bootloader, kernel, and user space layers.
• Document all FPGA design, build, validation, and deployment processes.

What we're looking for

• Hold a B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering degree from an accredited institution.
• Possess strong experience in FPGA development using Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog.
• Demonstrate the ability to achieve timing closure and resource optimization on complex designs.
• Have experience developing Linux kernel drivers or low-level embedded software for FPGA-based systems.
• Be familiar with Xilinx toolchains, including Petalinux and associated build flows.
• Experience with image sensors, video pipelines, or high-bandwidth data paths is required.
• Possess hands-on system bring-up and debugging experience on custom hardware.
• Must have current work authorization in the country of employment.
