Embedded Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and own detailed electrical schematics for complex, FPGA-centric medical devices, including component selection, power architecture, clock distribution, DDR interfaces, and analog signal conditioning.
• Architect, implement, and verify Xilinx FPGA designs using Vivado and Vitis, including custom IP blocks communicating with Linux applications through AXI4 Lite, Stream, and Memory-Mapped interfaces.
• Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers and user-space libraries connecting FPGA logic with C++, Rust, and Python applications.
• Participate in the full medical-device product lifecycle within IEC 62304 and ISO 13485 frameworks, including requirements definition, architecture, FMEA, and verification testing.
• Guide PCB stack-up and high-speed routing, perform board bring-up and bench testing, and debug schematics using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
• Solve cross-domain embedded problems, including signal-integrity debugging and Python-based hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Optimize embedded systems for low latency, high throughput, SWAP-C constraints, and patient safety.

Requirements

• 4–7+ years of hands-on embedded systems development experience.
• Experience creating complex FPGA-based board schematics with tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad.
• Knowledge of power sequencing, high-speed routing constraints, and mixed-signal layout.
• Proficiency with Xilinx Vivado, Vitis, and AXI interconnects.
• Proficiency in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog for synthesis, simulation, and timing closure.
• Strong embedded Linux experience with Yocto, PetaLinux, or Buildroot, including kernel configuration and cross-compilation.
• Fluency in C/C++ or Rust for low-level firmware and driver development, plus Python proficiency for scripting and data analysis.
• Understanding of SPI, I2C, UART, and high-speed serial links.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in regulated medical-device environments, including FDA or MDR requirements and IEC 62304.
• Experience with precision analog front ends, ADCs, DACs, and PMICs.
• Experience with DSP, Zynq, MPSoC, RFSoC, or high-speed transceivers.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and location.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) plan with employer contribution.
• Paid holidays and vacation.
• Tuition reimbursement.
