About the Role
We are looking for an experienced
FPGA Hardware Acceleration Engineer
to design, implement, and deploy high-performance compute pipelines on modern heterogeneous FPGA platforms, including
AMD Versal AI Edge
.
You will be responsible for the end-to-end hardware acceleration pipeline, from
RTL/HLS development and simulation through synthesis, timing closure, and physical board bring-up
. You will work closely with AI researchers and embedded software engineers to translate algorithms into efficient, low-latency, and deterministic hardware implementations.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement custom FPGA compute engines and high-throughput streaming data paths using
Verilog/SystemVerilog or C/C++ HLS
.
Develop and optimize memory and data-transfer interfaces, including
AXI4, AXI-Stream, DMA, DDR4/LPDDR
, and related architectures.
Perform
logic synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and timing closure
using
AMD Vivado, Vitis, and Vitis AI
.
Bring up and validate FPGA designs on physical evaluation boards and hardware-in-the-loop test environments.
Debug hardware issues using logic analyzers and on-chip debugging tools.
Integrate FPGA acceleration kernels with
ARM-based host processors
and embedded software stacks.
Optimize hardware architectures for
throughput, latency, resource utilization, memory bandwidth, and deterministic execution
.
Collaborate with AI/ML researchers and software engineers to map computational workloads onto FPGA-based acceleration platforms.
Requirements
Master’s degree or above
in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Hands-on experience taking FPGA designs through the complete development cycle, including
RTL/HLS, simulation, synthesis, implementation, and on-board validation
.
Strong programming and hardware design skills in
Verilog/SystemVerilog, VHDL, or C/C++ HLS
.
Practical experience with
AMD Vivado/Vitis
or equivalent FPGA development tools.
Solid understanding of
FPGA architecture, pipelining, parallel processing, memory hierarchy, and hardware optimization
.
Strong knowledge of
AXI4 / AXI-Stream
and high-performance data movement architectures.
Experience with
DMA, PCIe, DDR4/LPDDR, or other high-speed memory and I/O interfaces
.
Experience with hardware debugging, board bring-up, and timing closure.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with
AMD Versal, Versal AI Edge, Zynq UltraScale+, or other heterogeneous FPGA platforms
.
Experience accelerating
AI/ML, computer vision, signal processing, or other compute-intensive workloads
on FPGA.
Familiarity with
Vitis AI, FPGA-based AI acceleration, or heterogeneous CPU/FPGA architectures
.
Experience integrating FPGA accelerators with
ARM processors or embedded Linux systems
.
Strong understanding of performance optimization and hardware/software co-design.
