About the role

Our team of engineers, scientists, software developers, and operations professionals works together to solve complex challenges and turn bold ideas into real-world solutions.
We value collaboration, curiosity, and diverse perspectives, and we give every team member the opportunity to make an immediate impact while growing their skills.
If you're excited to work on breakthrough technology in a fast-paced, hands-on environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Collaborate with physicists, electronics engineers, and optical designers to define system requirements and select appropriate FPGA/SoC components along with supporting ICs.
Design and contribute to custom PCB layouts integrating modern FPGA/SoC devices.
Identify critical design challenges affecting PCB layouts to ensure robustness.
Develop synthesizable RTL code using Verilog or VHDL, create test benches, and prepare EDA tool support to meet performance targets.
Lead FPGA board bring-up integration and test activities.
Develop test scripts.
Experience creating custom Linux builds using Yocto, PetaLinux, or OpenEmbedded.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
Minimum 5 years of relevant FPGA engineering experience for candidates with EE degrees
7+ years for other technical degrees.
