Staff Electrical Engineer – FPGA / MPSoC Systems & Digital Signal Processing

Lead the architecture, design, implementation, and validation of FPGA, MPSoC, and FPGA-based digital signal processing systems for SirenOpt’s metrology platform. - Develop designs from concept through architecture definition, RTL development, modeling, simulation, verification, testbench development, bench testing, and system bring-up. - Build and maintain robust simulation and verification environments to validate functionality, timing, performance, and reliability at both block and system levels. - Design and implement FPGA-based digital signal processing pipelines for real-time sensing and metrology applications, including FIR filters, synchronization pipelines, control loops, and low-latency data paths. - Implement, evaluate, and refine signal-processing and control algorithms such as PID, ADPLL, filtering, and signal-conditioning methods for high-performance measurement systems. - Use MATLAB and Python for algorithm development, modeling, data analysis, system validation, and signal and electrical data characterization. - Perform large-scale data analysis to evaluate signal quality, characterize system behavior, and guide design tradeoffs and performance optimization. - Collaborate closely with hardware, electrical, software, algorithm, and systems engineers to support end-to-end FPGA, MPSoC, firmware, and hardware integration. - Read and interpret schematics to understand board-level architecture, interfaces, signal paths, power domains, and subsystem dependencies. - Bring up new boards in the lab, troubleshoot issues independently, and debug hardware/firmware interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, power supplies, and related lab equipment. - Help translate frontier R&D concepts into scalable, reliable, and manufacturable digital systems. What We’re Looking For
