Field-Programmable Gate Arrays Engineer (Boulder)

We are looking for a Senior FPGA Engineer to advance our existing FPGA architecture, help design the next-generation system, design, verify, and implement new features for our platform. You will own FPGA subsystems end to end — from architecture through verification — working at the hardware/software boundary to keep our systems fast, stable, and reliable.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Architect, implement, and verify FPGA designs for our scan system

• Design and implement high-speed serial transceiver links between scan chassis

• Design and incorporate DDR4 memory on the System on Module

• Improve existing real-time control and DSP data paths (filtering, decimation, feedback loops) that keep the sensor array stable

• Drive timing closure, resource budgeting, and design-for-test across Arria 10 devices

• Build simulation and verification environments

• Partner with embedded software on the hardware/software boundary, register maps, DMA, and SoC integration

• Contribute to design documentation and verification evidence within our ISO 13485 design control process

• Participate in on-site testing and measurements using the HEDscan system

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Required

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field; M.S. preferred

• 7+ years of professional FPGA design experience, with a track record of owning a subsystem end to end

• Experience with SystemVerilog

• Hands-on experience designing and debugging high-speed serial transceivers (SerDes, multi-gigabit links, clock/data recovery, equalization, jitter and eye-diagram work)

• Practical DDR4 experience: controller integration, calibration, timing closure, and real-world throughput debugging

• Strong lab and debug skills

• Self-directed and independent with a willingness to learn on the go

Nice to Have

• Experience with Intel/Altera FPGAs, particularly Arria 10

• Experience with Efinix FPGAs (Trion T20)

• DSP and control-systems background — digital filters, feedback loops, closed-loop sensor control

• C++ and System-on-Chip development, including Arria 10 HPS or similar hard-processor integration

• Experience in a regulated medical device environment (ISO 13485, IEC 62304, design controls, V&V documentation)

• Familiarity with Git-based workflows
