Job Description

FPGA Firmware Design Engineer

ScioTeq, a leading brand in high performance, high quality rugged displays and computers, has been serving the defense and security community around the world for over 35 years. Today's military requires leading edge computing and display capabilities in all their vehicles. ScioTeq products are designed to not only meet high tech performance requirements but also survive incredibly harsh and extreme environments.

ScioTeq offers a small company feel while projecting a big company presence. Our engineering work is very hands-on and collaborative as we design, prototype, test, and industrialize computing products for a variety of applications and customers. We are expanding our engineering team and are looking for an experienced FPGA firmware design engineer who can join our team in Duluth, Georgia. If you have strong firmware design abilities and the interpersonal skills needed to effectively collaborate and support our product development activities, then read on.

ScioTeq Rugged Smart Display and Computer products are designed to provide high computing and video processing performance in extreme operating environments governed by MIL STD and EN military specifications. Designed with the latest commercially available CPU modules, we use FPGA's to handle HMI interfaces, coordinate I/O and perform low latency video processing. These products are rarely sold as "off the shelf" products. Customers typically require customization for their specific applications and requirements. This often requires creative problem solving, coordination with hardware and software engineers, and adaptable firmware designs. The FPGA Firmware Engineer has the following main responsibilities:

• FPGA firmware implementation of feature requirements for new products and custom features
• Development of FPGA based video processing algorithms
• Develop and execute simulation testbenches for functional verification
• Troubleshooting and problem resolution for existing product issues
• Collaborate with PCB/hardware engineers on pinout, power, and signal integrity requirements
• Write and maintain design documentation, including block diagrams and interface specifications
• Provide firmware configuration management and release schedules
• Research toward related emerging FPGA technologies and tools
