FPGA Design Engineer (mid-sen)

Job brief:

Some time ago, wed started working on a project that will provide energy-efficient solutions with a real impact on the environment and will become a game-changer in industrial usage and Automotive industry is very keen to implement and drive that change.

Our team keeps growing in all 3 locations now Prague, Dresden, and Vienna so we keep looking for self-motivated, dedicated, and focused professionals.

As an FPGA Design Engineer, you will execute the technical development for the Firmware (VHDL) function in complex development projects supporting Energy Transition growth initiatives and business.

You will own all R&D aspects for the related function for the new product line of digitally enabled circuit protection devices. You will also be responsible for defining, specifying, and delivering robust and proven technical solutions for the related function from concept development, design and test through industrialization and certification in alignment with other major organizational stakeholders such as Product Management, Manufacturing, Supply Management, Business Development, etc.

You will be responsible for:

• Conceptualize, specify, develop and validate function-related designs for circuit protection devices based on product standards and customer needs, as well as functional manufacturability & cost targets.
• Develop robust concepts and specifications in alignment with customer requirements.
• Lead effort planning of design engineering tasks.
• Lead technical design and development tasks.
• Coordinate technical cooperation tasks with internal / external development teams.
• Utilize appropriate tools and methods (simulation, Design For Six Sigma), throughout the design cycle and sustaining engineering tasks.
• Design, plan, set up, conduct, document, and review development tests.
• Secure compliance of technical solutions for the related function with internal and external standards and regulations.
• Provide and maintain complete engineering documentation using Customers tools and systems.
• Support project issue resolution activities.
• Resolve technical design issues for the related function and deliver optimal solutions with respect to function, manufacturability and cost.
• Act as mentor for Junior Engineers and functionally leads & supervises technicians & drafters.
• Act as an expert for functional aspects in product technology and provide technical support and guidance to other functions such as Product Management, Quality and Manufacturing.
