FPGA Lead Engineer

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Min Experience : 8 years

Location : India

JobType : full-time

We are seeking a highly skilled FPGA Lead Engineer with 8–12 years of hands-on experience in FPGA design, development, and verification. The ideal candidate will be responsible for leading end-to-end FPGA design projects — from concept and architecture to implementation, verification, and deployment. You will collaborate closely with hardware, software, and system engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and optimized performance of FPGA-based solutions.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities :

• Lead FPGA Design and Development : Drive complete FPGA design cycles including architecture, RTL coding, simulation, synthesis, place and route, and timing closure.
• Architectural Ownership : Define system-level architecture and partitioning between hardware, firmware, and software to achieve optimal system performance.
• Verification and Validation : Develop and execute verification plans, testbenches, and simulation environments to ensure functional correctness and performance compliance.
• Optimization : Optimize FPGA designs for power, area, and performance constraints.
• Integration and Debugging : Collaborate with embedded software and hardware teams to integrate FPGA designs into larger system architectures, perform bring-up, and debug issues in lab environments.
• Toolchain Management : Utilize and manage FPGA toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, ModelSim, or Synplify) for efficient development and deployment.
• Documentation : Prepare detailed design documentation, timing reports, and test results for internal and external reviews.
• Mentorship : Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior FPGA and hardware engineers, promoting best practices and design standards.
• Continuous Improvement : Evaluate new FPGA technologies, methodologies, and tools to improve design productivity and maintain competitive technical advantage.
