Senior Electrical Engineer - Sensor FPGA and PCB (Aggregator)

Experience in FPGA hardware design for time-sensitive, high-performance applications (image processing, high-speed data acquisition, real-time networking, or similar), including:

FPGA device selection and architecture definition

RTL development in VHDL and/or Verilog

High-speed interface design (CSI-2, GMSL/SerDes, Ethernet, PCIe, or comparable)

Timing closure, clock-domain crossing, and resource optimization

Integration of high-speed transceivers and external PHY devices

FPGA tool flows (Vivado, Quartus, or Lattice Radiant) and simulation (ModelSim/Questa or equivalent)

Understanding of high-speed digital design fundamentals: signal integrity, impedance-controlled routing, differential pairs, stack-up, and timing analysis across the board-to-FPGA boundary.

Experience with camera/image sensor hardware: SerDes (GMSL, FPD-Link, or similar), MIPI CSI-2, and ISP integration — automotive or robotics vision systems strongly preferred.

Experience with Ethernet-based sensor streaming and sensor bridges.

Excellent communication (verbal & written); will be expected to develop detailed build assembly instructions and diagrams.

Excellent problem-solving and hardware debugging skills. Hands-on experience with prototyping and testing, including the use of lab equipment.

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where "perfect" is the enemy of "shipped," knowing exactly when a design is robust enough for the real world.

Travel up to 10% within US and internationally.

Bachelors, Masters, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.

At least 5 years of experience in Electrical Engineering.

Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer

Must be able to lift 15 pounds at times

Vision to read printed materials and a computer screen

Hearing and speech to communicate

Compensation: The annual salary range for this position is $170,000-$195,000.
