- Proven expertise in RTL design, FPGA building blocks, and high-speed interfaces (DDR4/5, PCIe, transceivers, PLLs).
- Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog coding and verification skills; familiarity with C/C++ is an asset.
- Hands-on experience with Xilinx (AMD) and Intel (Altera) FPGA devices and toolchains.
- Background in real-time systems (RTOS), ideally with video, audio, or imaging data.
- Knowledge of data compression, parallel processing, and 4K optimization.
