Field-Programmable Gate Arrays Engineer

Job Title : FPGA Engineer – Image Processing (Avionics) Location : Gurgaon

Experience Level : 5+ years

Employment Type : Full-time

Department : Hardware / Avionics Engineering

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled FPGA Engineer with a minimum of 5 years of experience in image processing and embedded hardware development , preferably within the avionics or aerospace industry . The ideal candidate will be responsible for the design, development, verification, and optimization of FPGA-based image processing systems used in advanced airborne vision and sensor platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Design, implement, and verify FPGA-based architectures for real-time image and video processing in avionics applications.

Develop RTL code (VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog) for high-speed image pipelines, compression, and filtering algorithms.

Integrate FPGA modules with embedded processors (e.g., ARM, MicroBlaze, Nios) and external interfaces such as ARINC818, ARINC429, PCIe, HDMI, DVI, LVDS, DDR4 / 3 / 2 & Ethernet, USB, SD, eMMC, I3C / I2C, SPI / QSPI etc.

Optimize FPGA designs for performance, area, and power efficiency under aerospace hardware constraints.

Collaborate with system, hardware, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of FPGA solutions into avionics systems.

Conduct simulation, synthesis, and timing analysis using industry-standard tools (Vivado, Quartus, ModelSim, etc.).

Participate in DO-254 design assurance activities, including documentation, verification traceability, and test case generation.

Support hardware bring-up , debugging, and in-lab testing of FPGA boards and image acquisition systems.

Contributes to the evaluation of new FPGA devices, IP cores, and image processing technologies .

Required Qualifications :

BE / ME in Electronics from a reputed college. Specialization in VLSI and Embedded Design is a plus.

Must have experience in System Design with Xilinx / Altera FPGA devices with relevant tools.

Must have experience in Verilog and / or VHDL coding.

Must have experience in synthesis and implementation (floor planning and placement and routing) using FPGA tools.

Must have experience in using constraints to achieve timing requirement.

Experience in working on high-speed FPGA designs is a major plus.

Thorough knowledge of Static Timing Analysis (STA) is an added advantage.

Must have experience in building test benches for verification.

Must have experience in board level testing and system debugging.

Must have knowledge of protocols like USB, Ethernet, PCIe, I2C, SPI, QSPI, UART, JTAG, ARINC818, ARINC429, SD, eMMC, DDR4 / 3 etc

Must have hands on experience with FPGA debugging tools and test measurement instruments such as oscilloscope and Logic Analyzer.

Must have strong problem solving and debugging skills.
