Lead FPGA Development Engineer Leader (m,f,d)

Role overview

Lead the design and maintenance of FPGA firmware and supporting electronics for real-time control and protection systems used in power transmission applications. You will turn system needs into hardware functions, develop designs for future projects, and work with engineers across locations to deliver reliable solutions on schedule.

Responsibilities - Analyze system requirements and define functions to implement in hardware. - Develop FPGA firmware using model-based design methods, and design analogue and digital electronics. - Maintain and improve legacy products to extend their useful life. - Prepare functional and test specifications, including routine, type, and test-harness plans. - Contribute to design reviews and keep design records and manufacturing data packs current. - Debug hardware and FPGA issues and coordinate with a multidisciplinary engineering team.

Requirements - Degree or higher in electrical or electronic engineering, or equivalent experience. - At least 10 years of FPGA design experience with VHDL or Verilog, plus practical model-based design knowledge. - Strong understanding of electronic components and principles, with excellent hardware and FPGA debugging skills. - Experience with FPGA devices and tools from Altera, Microsemi, or Xilinx, including Quartus II or Libero SoC. - Real-time control hardware design experience, along with high-speed digital design and PCB layout skills. - Ability to work independently and collaboratively to resolve technical issues.

Nice to have

Experience with power electronics control systems or HVDC, Agile practices such as Scrum, scripting with Perl or Python, version control such as Git or SVN, and issue tracking tools. Strong written and verbal communication and a self-directed, team-oriented approach are also valued.
