About the role

ANELLO is seeking an experienced Senior FPGA Design Engineer to lead new product FPGA-based hardware development for advanced electronic products and embedded systems.
This role requires strong expertise in FPGA architecture, RTL design, hardware validation, and board-level product development, including hands-on experience with PCBA design and system integration.
The ideal candidate has a strong background and can lead FPGA and hardware designs from concept through production, working closely with electrical, firmware, software, manufacturing, and test teams to deliver reliable, manufacturable products.

FPGA Design & Development
Design, implement, simulate, and debug FPGA solutions using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
Develop high-performance digital architectures including data acquisition, signal processing, communication interfaces, and embedded control systems.
Integrate and optimize vendor and third-party IP, perform timing closure, resource utilization, and power optimization.
Support FPGA bring-up, hardware debugging, and system integration using standard lab instrumentation.
Develop simulation environments and verification methodologies for FPGA validation.
Perform functional verification, hardware testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
Create automated test procedures, validation plans, and supporting documentation.
Collaborate on high-speed digital design, signal integrity, power distribution, clocking, and EMC/EMI considerations.
Support prototype builds, manufacturing introduction, and production ramp activities.

Strong proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
Experience w/FPGA platforms and toolchains ie.
Experience with FPGA simulation, verification, and hardware debugging.
Experience supporting products from prototype through production.
Experience with DDR memory, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, DSP, or real-time signal processing applications.
Experience with embedded processors and SoC FPGA platforms.
Knowledge of DFM/DFT, manufacturing test development, EMC compliance, and production test methodologies.
Experience with low-power, industrial, or ruggedized embedded systems.
BSEE or MSEE, CE or related field
8+ yrs of FPGA and embedded hardware development. Simulation, verification, HW debugging
Experience w/FPGA platforms and toolchains ie. AMD/Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Lattice, or Microchip
Solid understanding of digital electronics, high-speed interfaces, embedded systems, and electronic product development.
Nice to have's
Familiarity with Altium, Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, or similar schematic and PCB design tools.
Additional Attributes

ANELLO Photonics http://www.anellophotonics.com is a leading-edge technology company based in Santa Clara, CA.
The company has developed integrated photonic system-on-chip and AI technology for next generation navigation.
At the core is ANELLO's SIPHOG™ gyroscope, based on its patented photonic integrated circuit technology.
The result is a product that is higher performance, much smaller size and weight and power, at a fraction of the cost of traditional gyros used in industrial, aerospace and military applications (SWAP-C).
Our products enable reliable and accurate navigation and positioning for manned and autonomous applications, including in GPS-Denied environments.
Anello is currently shipping product to a growing list of customers in the Construction, Farming, Trucking, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, and National Security segments.
