Senior/Staff FPGA Design Engineer (Imaging & Video Systems)

--10xEngineers--

Experience Level: Senior (4 to 6+ years)
Location: Hybrid
Job Type: Full-Time

As a Senior / Staff FPGA Design Engineer, you will be a key contributor on client engagements, executing detailed FPGA RTL design, verification, timing closure, and integration. You will work closely with project leads, system architects, and cross-discipline teams to deliver quality FPGA deliverables that meet client technical targets and timelines.

Core Responsibilities

  • Deliver hands-on RTL architecture, implementation, and verification using SystemVerilog/VHDL for client FPGA solutions. 

  • Develop and optimize microarchitectures for imaging/video processing and high-speed data paths. 

  • Build robust test benches and verification environments; validate designs through simulation and hardware trials. 

  • Execute timing analysis and closure, ensuring designs meet performance and frequency goals. 

  • Integrate and debug FPGA designs with lab hardware, collaborating with software, hardware, and system teams. 

  • Support interface standards and protocol implementations (e.g., PCIe, DDR, high-speed serial links). 

  • Provide technical documentation, design reviews, and client reporting. 

  • Mentor and provide design leadership to less experienced engineers on multi-project teams.

Qualifications

  • Senior Level: 4–6+ years FPGA design experience; Staff Level: 6-8+ years with proven delivery of complex FPGA subsystems and high-impact projects. 

  • Expert in static timing analysis (STA), constraints, and timing closure for high-performance digital designs.

  • Hands-on with high-speed interfaces/protocols such as PCIe, DDR4/5/LPDDR, MIPI/CSI-2, HDMI/DisplayPort, SDI, and Ethernet, including SERDES configuration and optimization.

  • Proficient in FPGA development flows, HDL (SystemVerilog/VHDL), synthesis, place-and-route, and timing/power analysis using tools such as Vivado and Quartus.

  • Track record of debugging and validating FPGA hardware using lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, embedded logic analyzers) through board and system bring-up.

  • Demonstrated experience integrating FPGA logic with cross-discipline teams (hardware, firmware, software) to deliver complete, client-ready solutions.

  • Skilled in scripting for automation and build flows (Python, Tcl, Perl, or similar), with the ability to streamline verification and regression testing.

Location & Work Authorization

  • This role may be based in Lahore, Pakistan or Barcelona, Spain.
  • Barcelona-based engineers are expected to spend approximately 3-4 months per year in Lahore collaborating with the engineering team.
  • Lahore-based engineers will primarily work from Lahore, with potential relocation opportunities to Barcelona based on business needs.
  • Candidates must already have valid work authorization in their country of residence.
