$80-$90 per hour
About The Role
Our client is seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to lead the integration of an existing MRI gradient driver prototype into a production MR platform. In this pivotal role, you will assume full ownership of a VHDL-based FPGA design responsible for real-time control of high-voltage power electronics, including 800V switching systems and gradient control functions. You will drive FPGA development, synchronous digital design, PWM-based control, MR system integration, debugging, validation, and support the transition from laboratory prototype to production-ready medical equipment. This position requires deep technical expertise, a hands‑on approach, and the ability to work independently in a high-reliability environment.
What You'll Do
Integrate an existing MRI gradient driver FPGA prototype into a production MR platform
Assume ownership and further development of VHDL-based FPGA designs for real-time control of high-voltage power electronics, including 800V switching systems and gradient control functions
Design, implement, and optimize synchronous digital logic, including PWM-based control, state machines, and timing analysis
Perform FPGA-based hardware integration, bring-up, debugging, and validation
Support the transition of systems from laboratory prototype to production‑ready medical equipment, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams for MR system integration, troubleshooting, and documentation
Document design processes, test results, and support regulatory compliance for medical device production
Independently assume ownership of an existing FPGA code base with limited ramp‑up time
What You Bring
10+ years of FPGA and digital design experience
Strong VHDL development experience (required)
Experience with Intel/Altera FPGA platforms and Quartus development tools
Deep understanding of synchronous digital design, clocked systems, state machines, timing analysis, and deterministic real‑time control
Experience implementing PWM and switching control logic in FPGA-based systems
Experience supporting power electronics, motor control, inverter control, power conversion, or other high‑power real‑time control applications
FPGA-based hardware integration, bring‑up, debugging, and validation experience
Experience transitioning products from prototype to production environments
Working knowledge of embedded C (preferred)
Ability to independently assume ownership of an existing FPGA code base with limited ramp‑up
Experience in medical, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, defense, or other high‑reliability systems (preferred)
What's In It For You
Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans
Health Savings Account (HSA) and Dependent Care FSA
Supplemental coverage options to fit your needs
401k plan with company match and full vesting upon eligibility
Paid time off, sick time, and paid company holidays
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering virtual counseling, financial services, legal services, life coaching, and more
