FPGA Designer

Role: Firmware Engineer specializing in FPGA development and embedded real-time control within GE HealthCare’s imaging hardware platforms (CT, MR, Ultrasound). Responsibilities include designing and testing signal processing, control, and data interfaces between FPGAs, ASICs, and processors; developing FPGA logic with VHDL/Verilog; creating low-latency embedded firmware in C/C++; and integrating hardware/software control systems. The role involves collaboration with electrical, ASIC, systems, and software teams, supporting hardware bring-up, system validation, and technical documentation. Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related; strong digital design, FPGA, and embedded firmware skills; experience with Verilog/VHDL, FPGA tools (Quartus, QuestaSim), and hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, Ethernet). Desired: PhD, familiarity with ASIC design flows, power electronics control, MATLAB/Simulink, and high-reliability industry experience. The position requires on-site work in Niskayuna, NY, with a hybrid schedule and some travel. High-value specifics: embedded control systems for advanced imaging hardware, FPGA and ASIC design, real-time control development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration in a regulated medical device environment.
