Senior Electrical and FPGA Engineer (July 2024)

What you'll do: The Senior Electrical and FPGA Engineer designs products for the video and display industry, such as circuit board schematics, high-speed circuit board layout, power supply, FPGAs from AMD and/or Intel, color space and video processing algorithms in VHDL, and working to resolve issues related to product certification. In addition to product design, this senior level position assists other design engineering team members by providing expert opinion and reviewing other designs.

Essential Functions: 

• Design video-related circuit board schematics and validate their functionality through testing and/or simulation; Work with the PCB layout designer to ensure appropriate placement and signal routing.
• Work with the product development team to define product requirements and specifications.
• Test and validate electrical designs to ensure they meet the required specifications and comply with safety regulations.
• Architect, design and verify Verilog and/or VHDL code for complex video processing designs.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers, software developers, and IP block providers to integrate electrical and/or FPGA designs into larger systems.
• Troubleshoot and resolve any electrical or FPGA issues that arise during the product development process or in mass production.
• Research the latest technology and industry trends, and test concepts to be implemented within products.
• Generate design documentation, including BOMs, ECOs, specifications, test results, and process instructions.
• Validate products and designs from suppliers to verify the products meet our requirements, and document/troubleshoot any issues found.
• Communicate issues and actions to our suppliers to get resolution of issues.
• Assist junior-level electrical and/or FPGA engineers in their development efforts, to ensure the overall success of the team’s projects.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or related field. 
• 10+ years of experience in a high-tech industry, preferably display-related. Demonstrated knowledge of LCD, LED, digital signage, video processors and related products preferred.
• 5+ years of experience with hardware description languages (HDLs), such as Verilog and/or VHDL, in a complex design.  Display-related experience preferred.
• 5+ years of experience creating circuit board schematics and validating their functionality through testing and/or simulation.  PCB layout experience is a plus.
• Proficiency in schematic capture software.  Experience with high speed digital signal technology strongly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of electrical and electronic components and systems, including microcontrollers, FPGAs, power supplies and sensors.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Experience in developing products adherent to FCC, UL, CE, and other regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to understand and utilize standard Microsoft applications regularly to create documentation and communicate with team members.
• Proven ability to plan, schedule, and coordinate all phases of the product development process with minimal supervision, including initiation, development, implementation, internal testing, outside lab testing and ongoing sustaining. 
• Ability to operate and communicate effectively under pressure.  Ability to communicate clearly to US and Foreign regulatory, government and test agencies, US and foreign suppliers, external customers, and with a wide range of internal customers.
• Demonstrated ability to work as part of a global team including conducting business during non-standard hours. 
• Willingness to travel to Europe and/or Asia for design-related tasks.
