Senior Principal Engineer

Position Title: Sr. Principal FPGA Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities:
- Provide technical leadership of FPGA architecture and design in embedded products.
- Define and document FPGA functional requirements; participate in technical design reviews.
- Design and implement FPGA solutions (system communication, control algorithms, data movement/processing).
- Conduct lab test, debug, and integration; perform and document requirement verification.
- Participate in failure mode, safety, and hazard analysis for new and legacy designs.
- Ensure compliance with IEC medical device standards (60601-1, 60601-1-2, etc.).
- Familiarity with energy delivery modalities (ultrasound, LASER, and/or RF).
- Mentor junior engineers; support legacy products while developing new ones.
- Improve FPGA development tools/methods.

Qualifications:
- BS (MS preferred) in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
- Expert-level knowledge of electrical engineering concepts for digital hardware/product development.
- Minimum 10 years FPGA design/development.
- Hands-on electronics lab test equipment experience.
- Working knowledge of analog/digital circuitry, Altium, and design for manufacturability.
- Strong requirements/specification writing for regulated products (traceability, verification/validation plans).
- Experience with IEC 60601 or similar regulated environments (e.g., SEMI, MIL-STD, FAA).
- Ability to work in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment; provide direction and leadership.

Desired technical skills:
- FPGA architectures/interfaces and memory (DDR, SRAM, Flash); VHDL (some Verilog).
- Xilinx/Altera tool flows (ISE, Vivado, Quartus), HDL simulation (Questa), timing closure, and schematic reading.
- Source control (Perforce); MATLAB (or equivalent) modeling.
- Plus: ultrasound/RF/sensors background; control system/signal processing; probability/statistics; MS Excel/data analysis.
