Principal FPGA Verification Engineer

Our Client:

A 175-year-old global powerhouse building the tech that helps surgeons operate and scientists see the invisible — microscopy, AI imaging, the works. Part of a major industrial group spanning life sciences, diagnostics, and biotech, with a team that actually collaborates and keeps getting better.

Our Role:

This is a senior, hands-on role leading the development and implementation of verification and testing protocols for FPGA-based systems embedded in cutting-edge microscopy products. You'll own the full verification lifecycle — from defining test strategies to validating performance, functionality, and integrity of FPGA designs — working closely with R&D while also interfacing with Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, and Logistics to ensure product reliability meets the highest standards. Based fully on-site in Singapore, reporting to the Verification Manager.

You will be responsible for:

• Verification Plan and Report Development: Create detailed verification plans, strategies, test cases, and reports to evaluate FPGA functionality, performance, and compliance with project requirements. Provide clear, concise reports with insights and recommendations for improvement.
• Verification and Validation: Perform comprehensive verification of FPGA designs using various testing tools and equipment to ensure compliance with specified criteria such as speed, reliability, and power consumption.
• Issue Identification and Debugging: Identify, record, and diagnose issues in FPGA designs, ensuring thorough documentation and efficient resolution in collaboration with the development team.
• Automated Testing: Develop and implement automated test procedures to enhance testing efficiency and accuracy
• Continuous Improvement and Quality Assurance: Oversee continuous improvement in FPGA design verification and validation processes, contribute to quality assurance by evaluating designs against industry standards, and collaborate with cross-functional teams for seamless integration.

Our Ideal Talent:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with strong knowledge of FPGA technologies, FPGA development tools (Xilinx, Altera, etc.), and FPGA testing methodologies.
• Proficiency in FPGA testing equipment and software, ensuring accurate and efficient verification processes.
• Experience with scripting and programming languages for test automation, such as Python, VHDL, and Verilog.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues.
• Preferred background in the Medical Device industry, bringing familiarity with regulatory and quality standards.
