🔧 Responsibilities

• Develop radar and tomography medical microwave imaging systems with FPGAs. Implementing state of the art, real time imaging algorithms and Neural Networks, both by working with existing code in the digital electronics domain, and by writing novel IP cores;
• Design of Printed Circuit Boards including high frequency FPGA and microcontrollers to capture novel medical images with the aid of numerical and simulation based approaches;
• Support comprehensive testing and validation of the designed circuits with high end laboratory equipment (VNA, PNA, TDR, Spectrum Analyzers, RF Oscilloscopes, etc.);
• Collaborate with the team to seamlessly integrate everything into the system architecture.

✅ Must-Have

• Experience in FPGA and CPLD digital electronics programming , with practical knowledge in real time, parallel signal processing and high speed pipelines implementation.
• Experience in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design including High Speed components, microcontrollers and FPGAs , with particular focus on concepts as Signal and Power Integrity , Power Delivery Networks, and distributed circuits simulations and testing.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken).
• Confident in reading academic papers, application notes, datasheets, and to implement and verify their methods.

🌟 Nice-to-Have

• Experience with microwave and radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS, Sim4Life, Keysight Pathwave, ADS, etc.
• Experience with Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave circuit design , laboratory testing for EMI, EMC and for Anechoic Chamber characterisation.
• Practical experience with Vector Network Analysers (VNA), Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analysers (SA) and their working and operational principles.
• General familiarity with the AI model development cycle (including data collection, annotation, hyper-parameter tuning, evaluation, deployment).
• Experience with fast prototyping or making projects with Arduino, Raspberry, etc.
• Experience in working with and developing digital acquisition systems (DAQ).
• Understanding of AI inference hardware requirements & limitations on FPGAs.
• Understanding of Python, and basic understanding of PyTorch Lightning, Optuna, MLFlow, Ray, C++.
