About the role:

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated FPGA Designer to join our team and participate in development activities such as research, design, testing, and documentation to bring medical capital equipment products from concept to market.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Develop and test FPGA designs as part of a system, document and troubleshoot issues, and work with instrument and hardware.
• Apply the appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the system development life cycle to support the generation of such engineering applications and wide range of products.
• Participate in FPGA architecture development and document FPGA design requirements and development plan.
• Perform detailed design analysis and reviews with hardware engineering team to achieve product performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
• Implement FPGA designs.
• Track FPGA RTL related issues and lead resolution of issues with a well-documented and methodical approach.
• Develop FPGA RTL test and verification plans and protocols and conduct prototype testing and verification testing.
• Work closely with hardware and software engineering teams to debug/integrate FPGA design with product.
• Collaborate with program managers to create and manage development plans and project plans related to software development.
• Contribute to the creation and update of relevant software documentation, risk management documentation, issue tracking, configuration management, test reports, etc.
