Urgent! FPGA Lead Engineer Job Opening In India, India – Now Hiring Weekday AI

FPGA Lead Engineer



Job description

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Min Experience: 8 years

Location: India

JobType: full-time

We are seeking a highly skilled FPGA Lead Engineer with 8–12 years of hands-on experience in FPGA design, development, and verification.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for leading end-to-end FPGA design projects — from concept and architecture to implementation, verification, and deployment.

You will collaborate closely with hardware, software, and system engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and optimized performance of FPGA-based solutions.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead FPGA Design and Development: Drive complete FPGA design cycles including architecture, RTL coding, simulation, synthesis, place and route, and timing closure.

  • Architectural Ownership: Define system-level architecture and partitioning between hardware, firmware, and software to achieve optimal system performance.

  • Verification and Validation: Develop and execute verification plans, testbenches, and simulation environments to ensure functional correctness and performance compliance.

  • Optimization: Optimize FPGA designs for power, area, and performance constraints.

  • Integration and Debugging: Collaborate with embedded software and hardware teams to integrate FPGA designs into larger system architectures, perform bring-up, and debug issues in lab environments.

  • Toolchain Management: Utilize and manage FPGA toolchains (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, ModelSim, or Synplify) for efficient development and deployment.

  • Documentation: Prepare detailed design documentation, timing reports, and test results for internal and external reviews.

  • Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior FPGA and hardware engineers, promoting best practices and design standards.

  • Continuous Improvement: Evaluate new FPGA technologies, methodologies, and tools to improve design productivity and maintain competitive technical advantage.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.

  • Experience: 8–12 years of professional experience in FPGA design and development, including at least 2 years in a lead or senior engineering capacity.

  • FPGA Platforms: Strong hands-on experience with Xilinx, Intel (Altera), or Microsemi FPGA families.

  • Design Languages: Expertise in VHDL and/or Verilog, with knowledge of SystemVerilog for verification.

  • Scripting and Automation: Proficiency in scripting languages such as TCL, Python, or Perl for design automation and build processes.

  • High-Speed Interfaces: Experience with PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, and other high-speed communication protocols.

  • Verification Tools: Familiarity with ModelSim, QuestaSim, or VCS for simulation and debugging.

  • Timing Analysis: Strong understanding of timing closure, clock domain crossing (CDC), and constraint management.

  • Hardware Debugging: Experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG tools for FPGA validation.

  • Version Control: Experience with configuration management tools like Git, SVN, or Perforce.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Exposure to SoC FPGAs and embedded processors (ARM, MicroBlaze, or Nios II).

  • Experience in signal processing, image processing, or communication systems.

  • Knowledge of hardware-software co-design and embedded C/C++ development.

  • Familiarity with DO-254 or other hardware design certification standards is a plus.
