INTRODUCTION
Celestica HPS is seeking a highly motivated and self-driven candidate qualified for the position of Staff FPGA Design Engineer to help design and build market-leading Hardware Platform Solutions. As a Subject Matter Expert and a member of the design and development group, the successful candidate will be responsible for developing FPGA designs for Ethernet Switching, Server and Storage Products. They will participate in the full FPGA development flow, including specification, coding, simulation, physical implementation, and onboard debugging. They will communicate and cooperate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, etc.) to ensure robust product development.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with platform architects, board designers, and software designers to understand and define architecture requirements.
- Develop design specifications that fulfill project requirements.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers on logic-related schematic design and review.
- Drive device selection decisions.
- Ensure on-time delivery of RTL designs, module-level verification, and test case definitions.
- Drive the entire back-end design flow, including design constraints, floor-planning, and timing closure.
- Perform FPGA validation and issue debugging on real hardware boards.
- Collaborate with peers across different functional teams and mentor junior design engineers.
- Provide accurate and timely project schedule estimates.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Minimum 8+ years of experience as an FPGA Design Engineer; familiar with Xilinx and Intel (Altera) FPGAs, Lattice CPLD/FPGAs, etc.
- In-depth knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, RTL design, FPGA design, and FPGA design tools (e.g., ISE, Vivado, Quartus II, ModelSim, etc.).
- In-depth knowledge of high-speed serial protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, and LVDS; familiar with low-speed interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, LPC, MDIO, etc.
- Familiarity with UVM constrained-random coverage-driven concepts, assertion-based verification, and functional coverage techniques.
- Excellent problem-solving and hands-on debugging skills.
- Excellent communication skills with professional English proficiency (verbal and written).
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to understand customer needs, expectations, and perspectives.
- Demonstrated ability to multitask across multiple projects.
TYPICAL EDUCATION
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering; a Master’s degree is preferred.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Design Engineer Jobs at Celestica Jobs
Align your portfolio to EMS hardware deliverables
Celestica operates as a contract electronics manufacturer, so hiring managers prioritize design work tied to production readiness, not just concept development. Showcase PCB layout, DFM analysis, or signal integrity projects that reflect the full design-to-manufacture cycle.
Target Celestica's verticals with the most design headcount
Celestica's Design Engineer openings concentrate in its Advanced Technology Solutions segment, covering areas like server hardware, storage, and telecommunications infrastructure. Applying to roles within these verticals improves your chances of landing a team that regularly runs sponsorship processes.
Request written confirmation of sponsorship before accepting
Before signing an offer, ask Celestica's recruiter to confirm in writing which visa category they'll sponsor and whether they cover PERM legal fees if a Green Card pathway is offered. Verbal assurances don't bind the employer's immigration team.
Use Migrate Mate to identify open Design Engineer roles at Celestica that include visa sponsorship
Not every Celestica job posting explicitly states sponsorship eligibility. Browse Migrate Mate to filter roles by visa type so you only spend time on positions where sponsorship for your category is already confirmed.
Prepare your credentials for DOL prevailing wage scrutiny
PERM-based Green Card filings require DOL to verify your offered salary meets prevailing wage for the Design Engineer role and location. Gather transcripts, any credential evaluations for foreign degrees, and employment letters well before your employer's immigration attorney begins the process.

Find Design Engineer at Celestica JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Celestica sponsor H-1B visas for Design Engineers?
Celestica's sponsorship activity for Design Engineers has focused on employment-based Green Card pathways (EB-2 and EB-3) and F-1 OPT, rather than H-1B transfers or new cap-subject filings. If you're currently on H-1B with another employer, a transfer is possible, but confirm directly with Celestica's HR team whether they accept H-1B transfers for the specific role you're targeting.
How do I apply for Design Engineer jobs at Celestica?
Applications go through Celestica's careers portal, where roles are listed by business segment and location. Tailor your resume to emphasize hardware design experience relevant to electronics manufacturing services. You can also use Migrate Mate to browse Celestica's open Design Engineer positions filtered by visa sponsorship type, which narrows the list to roles where your immigration category is supported.
Which visa types does Celestica commonly use for Design Engineer roles?
Celestica has sponsored Design Engineers under F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, and employment-based immigrant visa categories (EB-2 and EB-3). TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering disciplines. EB-2 and EB-3 require a PERM labor certification filed with the DOL before USCIS adjudicates the immigrant petition.
What qualifications does Celestica expect for Design Engineer roles?
Most Design Engineer postings at Celestica require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field. Practical experience with PCB design tools (such as Cadence or Altium), signal integrity analysis, and design-for-manufacturability principles is consistently valued. Roles in Celestica's advanced technology segments may also expect familiarity with server or storage hardware architectures.
How do I navigate the sponsorship timeline for a Design Engineer role at Celestica?
If you're on F-1 OPT, your employment authorization is active on day one, giving Celestica time to evaluate fit before initiating any immigration filing. For EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card sponsorship, the PERM process alone can take six to twelve months before USCIS even receives the I-140 petition. Raise the sponsorship conversation early in the interview process so both sides align on timing before an offer is extended.
