Principal FPGA Engineer - ETL Systems Ltd
Software Engineer
Lead the design and verification of advanced FPGA solutions for satellite communications, driving high‑performance RF and digital signal processing systems using VHDL/Verilog and RTL design techniques.
About the role
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and implement complex FPGA designs for satellite communication subsystems, ensuring compliance with stringent performance and reliability standards.
- Develop RTL modules in VHDL/Verilog, perform synthesis, place‑and‑route, and timing closure for high‑speed serial interfaces.
- Collaborate with RF and ASIC teams to integrate digital logic with analog front‑ends, optimizing power, area, and latency.
- Lead verification efforts using simulation, formal methods, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing to validate functional correctness and signal integrity.
- Mentor junior engineers, conduct design reviews, and provide technical guidance on best practices for FPGA development.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in FPGA design for high‑speed communication or defense applications.
- Expertise in VHDL/Verilog, RTL design, and FPGA toolchains (Xilinx/Intel).
- Strong background in high‑speed serial protocols (SerDes, PCIe, Ethernet) and RF system integration.
- Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded firmware and testbench development.
- Excellent problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a fast‑paced, mission‑critical environment.
