FPGA Engineer - Signal Processing

FPGA Signal Processing Engineer (MATLAB to HDL Conversion)

Location: Pisa, Italy

Start Date: ASAP

Overview

We're looking for a Signal Processing Engineer with strong FPGA experience to port advanced algorithms from MATLAB into deployable, hardware-optimized FPGA implementations on Xilinx RFSoC platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze and optimize signal processing algorithms currently developed in MATLAB.
• Port and implement these algorithms in HDL (VHDL/Verilog) suitable for FPGA deployment.
• Collaborate with software, systems, and FPGA developers to ensure correct functional behavior and integration.
• Validate implementations through simulation and on-board testing.

Required Skills

• Strong background in digital signal processing (DSP) .
• Experience porting algorithms from MATLAB/Simulink to HDL .
• Proficiency in HDL (VHDL or Verilog) and Xilinx FPGA development (Vivado) .
• Familiarity with fixed-point arithmetic and hardware optimization techniques.
• Understanding of FPGA resource constraints and timing closure.

Desirable

• Prior use of RFSoC or Zynq Ultrascale+ platforms.
• Experience with Simulink HDL Coder or other model-based hardware design tools.
• Knowledge of Petalinux or embedded systems.
