Re:Build Manufacturing is an advanced, end-to-end manufacturing platform that partners with industrial companies and innovators to take products from concept to full-scale production in critical verticals including aerospace and defense, electrification, medical, energy and environment, and robotics and automation. Re:Build AppliedLogix, a division within Re:Build, provides product OEMs with leading-edge embedded systems design services and product commercialization expertise.
We are seeking a seasoned FPGA engineer with a decade or more of hands-on experience who thrives on solving hard technical problems and wants direct involvement in shaping solutions for diverse client applications. You will own designs from initial concept through lab debug, bringing practical, battle-tested judgment to complex embedded systems work.
In this role, you will:
- Partner directly with clients to gather and document technical requirements, develop project estimates, and provide technical leadership throughout engagements
- Architect FPGA solutions and implement robust RTL designs for demanding, real-world applications
- Build simulation environments and self-checking testbenches to verify designs meet requirements
- Drive designs through synthesis, constraint development, clock-domain crossing analysis, timing closure, and resource optimization
- Design with high-speed and embedded interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204, DDR, AXI, SPI, and I2C
- Bring designs to life on target hardware—integrating and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment
- Collaborate closely with embedded software, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers across the full product development lifecycle
- Contribute to design reviews and technical risk assessments, helping guide data-driven design decisions
- Document and hand off FPGA work packages and project deliverables to clients
You are self-motivated, curious, and energized by variety—preferring to work across multiple projects and unfamiliar applications rather than settling into a single narrow lane. You communicate well, whether documenting requirements with clients, walking teammates through design decisions, or writing technical work packages. You bring a research-and-development approach to new challenges and a collaborative instinct that makes you a natural fit within a technically diverse, lean, team-oriented engineering culture.
REQUIREMENTS:
Required:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- 10+ years of experience developing FPGA-based systems
- Strong VHDL design experience
- Experience with AMD/Xilinx Vivado and Intel Quartus FPGA development toolchains
- Solid understanding of RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, constraint development, clock-domain crossing techniques, and FPGA resource optimization
- Experience building verification environments and self-checking testbenches
- Experience designing with common digital interfaces and protocols
- Hands-on experience with FPGA hardware integration, board bring-up, and lab debugging (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related equipment)
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with comfort collaborating directly with clients as well as internal teams
- Self-motivated, entrepreneurial perspective with a passion for customer success and the ability to contribute to multiple projects concurrently
- Ability to apply technical experience and an R&D outlook to unfamiliar applications
Preferred:
- Additional experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog
- Experience with testbench frameworks such as OSVVM or UVM
- Experience with digital signal processing, RF systems, and/or image processing
- Scripting or software development experience using Python, Tcl, C, and/or C++
