FPGA Design & Validation Engineer (Oil & Gas Systems)

About the Role

As an FPGA Engineer in our Oil & Gas division, you will develop high‑reliability digital systems for demanding environments such as downhole drilling tools, subsea instrumentation, or refinery monitoring systems, using VHDL to implement complex data‑acquisition and signal‑processing algorithms under strict power and thermal constraints, and you will conduct hands‑on lab validation to ensure system integrity before field deployment. • Implement low‑power, high‑temperature synthesizable VHDL designs (surviving >150 °C) for rugged applications. • Lead hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and thermal chambers to verify timing and functional reliability. • Develop and test custom and standard communication interfaces such as Modbus, Ethernet/IP, CAN, and mud‑pulse telemetry. • Design robust memory interfaces (DDR3/4) with error‑correction coding for large‑scale data logging. • Create and maintain documentation of test protocols and validation results to support safety and compliance certifications. • Perform functional, timing, post‑synthesis and post‑layout verification with appropriate simulators. • Design for battery‑operated or power‑limited remote systems.
