Ampcus Inc. is a certified global provider of a broad range of Technology and Business consulting services. We are in search of a highly motivated candidate to join our talented Team. Job Title: Engineer 3 - Electrical Engineering. Location: Santa Clara, CA. Job Description:
- This role focuses on designing, developing, and supporting FPGA-based solutions for advanced robotic and medical systems.
- The engineer will own RTL design from architecture through validation, working hands-on across the full FPGA development lifecycle, including simulation, timing closure, hardware bring-up, and system-level debugging.
- The position requires close collaboration with hardware, firmware, software, and systems teams in a highly cross-functional, regulated R&D environment to deliver reliable, safety-critical technology.
Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Designing, developing, optimizing, and maintaining FPGA RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog and/or VHDL.
- Supporting the full FPGA development lifecycle, including synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and bitstream generation.
- Performing functional simulation, verification, and system-level debugging.
- Supporting board bring-up, testing, integration, and validation.
- Collaborating closely with hardware, firmware, software, and systems engineering teams.
- Documenting design decisions, test results, and process improvements.
- Participating in design reviews and regulated development activities.
Required Skills and Experience:
- 4 years of hands-on FPGA design and development experience.
- Strong understanding of digital logic, timing analysis, and debugging.
- Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Experience with FPGA toolchains such as Xilinx Vivado, Lattice Diamond, or equivalent.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific field.
- Robotics design exposure.
- Strong collaboration and communication skill.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Prior experience in medical devices, robotics, or safety-critical systems.
- Exposure to regulated environments such as FDA, IEC, or ISO.
- End-to-end FPGA ownership from architecture through validation.
- Experience debugging real hardware issues beyond simulation.
- Familiarity with high-speed protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, or Aurora.
- Experience using simulation, verification, and hardware debug tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).
- Cross-functional collaboration with mechanical, systems, or clinical teams.
