Description
Our client is looking for a strong FPGA digital circuit electronics engineer, 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 client's 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.
