[Hiring] Senior FPGA Design Engineer @Positron Corporation

Role Description

We are seeking a Senior FPGA Design Engineer to own FPGA designs from microarchitecture through lab-based silicon validation. In this role, you will work closely with inference system architects, software, verification, and hardware teams to design, implement, and release networking and digital logic functions targeting FPGA and ASIC technologies. You will also build FPGA prototypes that let the team validate architectural choices early, and you will play a hands-on role in bringing up complete systems that combine FPGA, firmware, and software. Your trade-off decisions across cost, size, power, performance, and features will directly shape the customer experience of Positron's inference platforms.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in FPGA and/or ASIC design and implementation.
• Hands-on proficiency in SystemVerilog RTL coding.
• A proven record of designing, testing, delivering, and supporting multiple FPGAs or ASICs that have shipped to customers.
• Direct experience working with high-end Intel and Xilinx (AMD) FPGAs.
• Strong working knowledge of modern ASIC and FPGA design and verification tools.
• Deep practical experience across microarchitecture, RTL coding, FPGA optimization for timing and power, simulation, and validation.

Requirements

• Experience with artificial intelligence workloads, particularly large language model inference.
• Familiarity with cocotb or other Python-based logic verification frameworks.
• A track record of successfully fielding and supporting FPGA and ASIC products in production environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, paired with clear communication skills.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively within a cross-functional technical team.

Benefits

• The base salary range for this role is $200,000 – $250,000.
• Fully company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents.
• Company-paid life and disability coverage, with voluntary options to add more.
• Supplemental hospital, critical illness, and accident coverage available.
• Unlimited paid time off; we encourage everyone to truly unplug and recharge.
• 13 paid company holidays.
• Remote-first culture with a company-provided computer and home office setup.
• Competitive salary and equity.
• 401(k) with company matching, eligible from day one.
