Job Title:Senior Hardware Engineer-FPGA

Location:Fremont, CA (Hybrid)

Job Type:Full-Time

We’re looking for a highly motivatedSenior Hardware Engineer-FPGA to join our engineering team and help build the next generation of digital printing hardware. If you enjoy working at the intersection of hardware and software-and want your work to directly influence real-world industrial automation-this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement FPGA-based processing and control systems for industrial inkjet printing platforms.

• Develop high-speed logic for real-time printhead control, signal processing, and image data handling.

• Work closely with electrical, software, and mechanical engineering teams to define hardware/software interfaces and performance specifications.

• Implement and optimize interfaces for high-throughput serial data communication (e.g., LVDS, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet).

• Debug and validate FPGA designs using simulation tools (e.g., ModelSim, QuestaSim) and lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).

• Integrate FPGA logic with embedded processors (e.g., ARM cores in Xilinx Zynq or Intel SoCs) for control and diagnostics.

• Write and maintain test benches, documentation, and hardware validation reports.

• Support system-level integration and manufacturing test development.

• Work closely with our team in Japan by participating in online and in-person workshop sessions.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

• 3-7 years of professional experience in Digital design/FPGA design and development.

• Solid understanding of digital signal processing and real-time control systems.

• Strong proficiency in Verilog and Systemverilog.

• Experience with industry-standard FPGA toolchains (Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, etc.).

• Familiarity with timing analysis, constraint definition, and hardware debugging.

• Ability to work in a cross-disciplinary environment involving software, electronics, and mechanical systems.

Preferred:

• Experience in digital printing, motion control, or industrial automation.

• Familiarity with inkjet printing systems or high-speed imaging.

• Experience designing and implementing image data pipelines on FPGAs.

• Knowledge of high-speed data protocols (e.g., Ethernet, PCIe, DDR memory interfaces).

• Familiarity with embedded Linux, device drivers, or real-time operating systems.

• Scripting and automation experience (Python, TCL, Bash).

• Experience or familiarity working with Japanese customers.

Compensation:
The salary range for this position is $160,000-$170,000 USD. Fiery considers a variety of factors when determining base compensation, including experience, qualifications, and geographic location.
