The Role
Seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to lead the design and implementation of complex FPGA-based systems for a general-purpose humanoid designed for corporate tasks. Responsibilities include architecting, implementing, and validating FPGA logic designs, conducting trade studies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Requires 5+ years of industry experience and expertise in FPGA-based camera systems and design verification. Bonus qualifications include proficiency in C/C++, Python, and experience with HLS and FPGA-based DSP design.
Summary Generated by Built In
Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our Humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in Sunnyvale, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration.
We are looking for an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to help us design critical hardware for our Humanoid.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and implementation of complex FPGA-based systems from concept to production
- Architecting, designing, implementing, validating, and integrating FPGA logic designs (custom RTL and/or 3rd party IP)
- Conduct trade studies on new FPGA designs factoring in cost, size, power, 3rd party IP, and technology
- Develop high-level and detailed design specifications based on system requirements
- Create and optimize RTL designs using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL
- Perform synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis to ensure design performance and reliability
- Debug and resolve issues related to FPGA designs
- Collaborate with electrical and software teams to integrate FPGA designs into larger systems
Requirements:
- 5+ years of industry experience
- Strong experience with FPGA-based camera systems, including image processing, camera interfaces, real-time video processing, and video compression algorithms
- RTL design experience using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL
- Experience with design verification and validation using simulation and hardware testing
- In-depth knowledge of FPGA architectures and digital design principles
- Experience with industry standards and protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, MIPI, DDR, etc)
- Experience with soft and hard processor blocks in a FPGA design (i.e. RISC-V, Microblaze, NIOS, etc)
- Experience working with various FPGAs and toolsuites (AMD, Altera, Lattice)
- Knowledge of embedded systems and software development
- Hands-on experience with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
- A good grasp of EE fundamentals
Bonus Qualifications:
- Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++ and Python for embedded systems development
- Experience with high-level synthesis (HLS) and FPGA-based DSP design
