• Knowledge of digital design principles, RTL design, and hardware interfaces
• Experience with simulation, verification, and debugging tools
• Familiarity with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SPI, etc.)
• Ability to work from system-level requirements to implementation and verification

Requirements

• Experience in aerospace (avionics, space) or medical device development
• Familiarity with DO-254, ARINC protocols, or safety-critical development processes
• Experience with DSP algorithms or signal processing on FPGAs
• Programming skills in C/C++ or Python
• Experience with embedded systems and SoC architectures

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset
• Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration
