FPGA Development Engineer, Tampere

About the role

This role involves developing, implementing, and verifying FPGA-based firmware in a complex technical environment. You will ensure new designs meet rigorous requirements for grid stability applications, covering the entire lifecycle from requirement analysis to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation.

You are offered Opportunity to work on cutting-edge power electronics as a key player in advanced firmware solutions.

Work tasks

This role focuses on the development, implementation, and verification of FPGA-based firmware, spanning the entire lifecycle from initial requirements to system-level validation for critical grid stability applications.

• Designing and implementing FPGA logic using VHDL or Verilog for power electronics control.
• Developing requirement specifications and architecture documents for firmware lifecycle.
• Performing RTL simulation and timing analysis.
• Integrating FPGA firmware with embedded software and hardware.
• Supporting system-level HIL testing.
• Coordinating firmware design reviews and ensuring requirement traceability.
• Analyzing and debugging complex timing or logic issues in laboratory environments.

We are looking for

• Knowledge in FPGA development (VHDL/Verilog).
• Experience with FPGA tools like Intel Quartus or Xilinx Vivado.
• Knowledge in RTL simulation and verification methodologies.
• Experience with version control (Git).
• Understanding of hardware-software interfaces and embedded systems.
• Professional working proficiency in English.
• Background in electronics, electrical engineering, or computer science.
