Description
Purpose of Role To work as part of the product development team with the specific responsibility for designing and testing the printhead datapath electronics which form part of our clients next generation product line. The Electronics Design Engineer (FPGA) will need to have good domain knowledge of both timing critical high speed FPGA implementation and digital electronics and will need develop, test and deliver both prototype and production implementations into the overall programme.Key Accountabilities Requirements capture and functional specification writing (with Electronics Systems Design Engineer) Schematic capture FPGA code design, implementation and test Supplier management Peer review of the work of other members of the team Interpret product requirements/specifications, industry regulations and high level test plan and designing and implementing specific tests against those needs. Writing reports of the outcome of the tests. Analyse and fix complex hardware and electronics system issues Delivering all tasks in time to meet program schedules
Qualification, Skills and Experience Critical requirement: An experienced FPGA engineer who can also design digital circuits.
A minimum of five years of experience of designing FPGA (HMDL/Verilog) and digital hardware in a commercial organisation from specification into full volume production.
Able to define test method and pass criteria from high level requirement.
Good knowledge of: FPGA design for high speed, real time systems with a focus on complexity and timing accuracy Electronics design to support high speed communications Digital design techniques Capture of requirements for own electronics and sub-components (e.g. ASICs or FPGAs) Testing and certification of electronics systems for production
Nice to have: Analogue design techniques Firmware design, implementation and testing Experience of designing data path or print head firing electronics for inkjet printers 1st or 2.1 Class Honours degree in Electronic Engineering.
