FPGA Engineer

The role

You will develop and verify FPGA designs that control radar hardware, move high-rate sensor data, and support real-time signal processing. You will work with an interdisciplinary team to define designs, build prototypes, and perform testing.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and verify FPGA modules in SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL
• Build and integrate streaming datapaths, FIFOs, register interfaces, and memory access
• Develop reliable clocking, reset sequencing, and clock-domain crossings
• Write and review timing constraints and close timing on supported hardware
• Work with software and electrical engineers to bring up boards and debug failures
• Improve throughput, latency, and resource use through pipelining and buffering
• Build self-checking simulations and regression tests
• Integrate vendor and third-party IP
• Improve scripted build and verification workflows
• Maintain clear design documentation and support lab and field integration

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years of directly relevant professional FPGA experience in place of the degree
• At least 2 years of professional FPGA or RTL development experience, including hands-on work on an FPGA design that reached hardware
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL
• Sound understanding of synchronous digital design
• Experience taking an FPGA design through simulation, synthesis, implementation, and hardware testing
• Working knowledge of timing constraints, timing closure, clock-domain crossings, reset behavior, and FPGA resource trade-offs
• Experience writing self-checking tests and diagnosing problems using simulation results, waveforms, implementation reports, or hardware instrumentation
• Ability to use Git and a Linux development environment
• Basic Tcl or Python scripting for FPGA build and test automation
• C for firmware, drivers, or hardware-debug tasks
• Ability to own a defined engineering task and communicate progress and blockers
• Must be able to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with Altera Quartus
• Experience with Altera Agilex or other FPGA SoC platforms, and with Platform Designer (Qsys)
• Familiarity with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet (SGMII/RGMII), direct-RF or other high-speed transceivers, LVDS, or optical links
• Familiarity with DDR memory, DMA, or AXI/Avalon buses
• Experience with embedded processors (such as Nios II/V or RISC-V), memory-mapped interfaces, interrupts, or low-level C/C++ firmware
• Experience with Linux device drivers or host-to-FPGA interfaces
• DSP implementation experience, including filtering, FFTs, rate conversion, fixed-point arithmetic, or radar/software-defined-radio processing
• Experience with high-level synthesis using C/C++ or SYCL (such as Intel oneAPI) for DSP kernels
• Experience with Python-based verification (cocotb, pyuvm), SystemVerilog assertions, UVM, or equivalent methods
• Experience with automated FPGA builds, regression testing, and continuous integration

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Must be able to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• By submitting your application, you consent to Anduril Industries using a third-party service provider to conduct pre-employment risk, integrity, and due diligence screening
