Senior FPGA Engineer (Control Systems)

Join our team as a Senior FPGA Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in the implementation of control systems for our quantum computers. You will design, implement, and test FPGA-based control functions, develop communication interfaces, and perform logic design and verification. The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of relevant experience, a BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field, and a strong background in FPGA and digital circuit design.

• Design, implement, and test FPGA-based control functions for high-speed arbitrary waveform generation, image acquisition, and digital control loops.
• Develop functional block specifications based on system level requirements and perform logic design and verification using Vivado.
• Write test procedures, perform component and system level testing and debug, document test results.
• At least 5 years of relevant postgraduate professional experience
• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering, Experimental Physics, or a related field
• Familiarity with Git version control and FPGA design best practices
• Willingness to learn atomic, optical, laser physics, and quantum mechanics concepts to put work in context
• Analog electronics design experience is a plus
• Experience with embedded Linux (Yocto) a plus
• Experience with Xilinx Vivado and Zynq SoCs
• Programming skills including C, C++, and Python in a Linux environment
• Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty
• Expertise in FPGA, microprocessor, and related digital circuit design and functions
• Integration, debug, and test experience with prototype electronics assemblies
• RF electronics / software-defined radio experience are pluses
• Proficiency with RTL (SystemVerilog preferred, VHDL acceptable)
