Role Description The FPGA Design Engineer role is a full-time, on-site position based in Bengaluru South. In this role, the engineer will participate in the end-to-end FPGA design cycle, including requirements analysis, architecture definition, RTL design, simulation, verification, and integration. Daily responsibilities include developing and optimizing FPGA logic, collaborating with hardware and embedded software teams, and performing timing analysis and resource utilization checks. The engineer will also support lab bring-up, debugging, and validation of FPGA-based systems, document design and test activities, and contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies and workflows.
Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in FPGA design using hardware description languages such as VHDL and/or Verilog; experience with RTL coding, synthesis, and timing closure.
• Hands-on experience with industry-standard FPGA toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel/Altera Quartus, ModelSim, or similar simulation tools).
• Knowledge of digital logic design fundamentals, including state machines, pipelining, clock domain crossing, and high-speed interfaces.
• Experience with FPGA verification and validation, including simulation, testbench creation, debug, and hardware lab testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or similar tools.
• Understanding of embedded systems and hardware-software integration; exposure to interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, or UART is beneficial.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Ability to read and interpret hardware schematics and collaborate effectively with PCB and hardware design teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently as well as in cross-functional teams on-site.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills for documentation, design reviews, and stakeholder interactions.
• Experience in applying industry standards, version control systems (e.g., Git), and structured development processes is an advantage.
