FPGA Engineer

IWI (Israel Weapon Industries) is leading the way in developing the next generation, cutting-edge computer-embedded small arms through its innovative next generation R&D department.

We are seeking a talented FPGA Engineer to join our team and contribute to the design, development, and implementation of complex systems, including networking, PCIe communication, and memory controllers.

This role requires hands-on experience with Xilinx FPGA design, using Vivado or similar tools.

Why Join IWI?

• Innovation: Work on cutting-edge technologies in the defence and embedded systems space.
• Impact: Contribute to the development of next generation small arms and military technologies.
• Professional Growth: Grow with a dynamic next generation R&D team and gain hands-on experience in advanced FPGA design and embedded systems.

Responsibilities

As an FPGA Engineer at IWI, you will play a crucial role in the development of FPGA circuits and systems across all phases, from initial design through to testing and deployment. You will design and integrate custom hardware blocks while ensuring system-level requirements are met. This includes performing timing analysis and optimizing FPGA designs to ensure efficient performance across different system components.

Your work will involve designing FPGA systems with high-speed serial interfaces, data streams, digital processing cores, multiple clocks and clock domains, and management interfaces.

Additionally, the ideal candidate will have experience in FPGA verification, testing, and deployment. Experience with embedded devices, such as Xilinx Zynq, and integrating FPGA designs with ARM-based processors is highly desirable.

Additionally, you will participate in shooting range tests and evaluations of the developed systems.

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with:

• Minimum of 2 years of industry experience in the design, analysis, and implementation of FPGA systems. Relevant military service in the same field is also applicable.
• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field is preferred, but equivalent practical experience will be considered.
• Proficiency in Xilinx FPGA design using tools like Vivado.
• Experience with embedded devices such as Xilinx Zynq, particularly in integrating FPGA designs with ARM-based processors, is highly desired.
• Strong experience in FPGA verification, validation, and testing using standard test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).
• Ability to understand and optimize system-level requirements, including clock management, timing analysis, and system-level debugging.
• Experience with embedded solutions and proficiency in C/C++ programming.
• Strong attention to detail while maintaining an understanding of broader system-level requirements.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
