Summary

Holt Executive is seeking an experienced FPGA Engineer to join a high-performing engineering team focused on developing, verifying, and releasing advanced FPGA solutions for mission-critical applications. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology in a multidisciplinary environment, contributing to the full product lifecycle from concept to deployment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute FPGA development and verification activities for advanced technology projects, particularly in high-performance imaging, signal processing, or mission-critical systems.
  • Design, implement, and optimize FPGA architectures using VHDL or Verilog, translating system requirements into detailed, efficient solutions.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers to ensure seamless integration of FPGA modules within larger systems.
  • Develop and execute test benches, simulations, and verification plans to ensure compliance with functional and performance requirements.
  • Utilize industry-standard tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Vitis, and related toolchains for synthesis, implementation, and debugging.
  • Prepare and maintain clear technical documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and verification reports.
  • Participate in design reviews, peer code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives within the engineering team.
  • Support product lifecycle activities, including prototype development, field trials, and transition to production.

Required Skills and Experience

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Proven experience in FPGA design and verification, with strong proficiency in VHDL or Verilog.
  • Solid understanding of RTL design, synthesis, timing closure, and debugging techniques.
  • Experience with Xilinx FPGA platforms and associated toolchains (Vivado, Vitis, etc.).
  • Familiarity with digital signal processing, high-speed digital circuit design, and implementation of communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet, PCIe, SPI, UART).
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team and communicate technical concepts effectively.
  • Strong documentation skills and attention to detail.

Desirable

  • Experience with advanced FPGA architectures (e.g., SoCs, RFSoC, Ultrascale+).
  • Knowledge of signal processing algorithms and their implementation in FPGA environments.
  • Proficiency with scripting languages (e.g., TCL) and version control systems (e.g., Git).
  • Exposure to hardware testing equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers) and embedded software development.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Hybrid and flexible working options
  • Opportunities for professional development and career progression
  • Collaborative, innovative team environment

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the development of next-generation FPGA solutions within a forward-thinking engineering team. If you are passionate about digital design and eager to tackle technically demanding projects, we encourage you to apply.
