About the role
- You will be responsible for converting raw sensor data into real-time continuous wave LiDAR point cloud images, collaborating closely with algorithm specialists to process and output 5D sensor data for our customers.
- Serve as a critical liaison between hardware and software, implementing control systems that maintain hardware operations while ensuring the integrity of the sensor data output.
- Creating real-time, efficient digital signal processing algorithms on an FPGA for high-throughput LiDAR sensor data and implementing LiDAR sensor active control systems on an FPGA.
- Lead the FPGA development process, including architecture definition, code simulation, RTL development and verification, hardware validation, and final testing.
- Advise system and signal processing R&D teams on achievable performance and optimal algorithms given cost and power constraints.
- Collaborate closely with hardware design teams to integrate the FPGA into the larger electronics system.
Requirements
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Engineering (CE), Computer Science (CS), or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of end-to-end FPGA design experience (RTL, simulation, implementation, bring-up, and debug).
- Proficiency in Verilog RTL.
- Demonstrated experience implementing DSP algorithms on FPGAs.
- Expert-level knowledge of the Xilinx Vivado design suite.
- Experience with commercial or open-source HDL simulators (e.g., Modelsim, Verilator).
- Familiarity with digital circuit design and communication protocols (SPI, PCIe, JESD204B/C, MIPI, I2C).
- Experience with board-level testing (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
- Strong communication and documentation skills, including system specification authoring and Git-based version control.
