Architect and implement high-performance FPGA solutions involving complex interfaces and subsystem integration
Partner closely with hardware, software, and system engineering teams to deliver cohesive system-level solutions
Lead timing closure, resource optimization, and performance tuning for advanced FPGA designs
Define and execute validation strategies, including lab bring-up, debug, and root cause analysis using JTAG and lab instrumentation
Contribute to PCB and system design decisions impacting FPGA performance and integration
Develop automation and debug tools using scripting (TCL, Python) to improve design and validation workflows

Qualifications (Must-Have)

8+ years of hands-on experience in FPGA design and development
Deep expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog for design and debugging
Proven experience with AMD (Xilinx) and/or Intel FPGA toolchains, including synthesis, implementation, and timing closure
Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals and ability to interpret schematics
