* FPGA design and development — a core focus of this role.
* Perform mixed-signal simulations, analysis, and fault-finding to refine designs.
* Prototype, verify, and troubleshoot electronic systems.
* Prepare technical documentation: test plans, reports, and bills of materials (BOMs).
* Support production testing and engineering change management.
* Collaborate with engineering teams to take concepts from design to delivery.
* Continuously enhance design skills and share knowledge with the team.
What We're Looking For:
* Bachelor's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
* 10+ years’ experience in analog and digital circuit design and development.
* Strong expertise in FPGA design — essential.
* Proficient in high-speed communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, USB, Ethernet).
* Hands-on experience with embedded systems and microcontroller programming.
* Skilled in circuit simulation, PCB layout, and prototyping.
* Familiarity with design tools like Altium .
* Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Key Attributes:
