Job Title

Fidus is a global hightech design firm headquartered in Ottawa, with additional design centres in KitchenerWaterloo and SanJose. We specialise in leadingedge electronic product development, with hardware, embedded software, FPGA/ASIC, and signal integrity teams working together to design and deliver nextgeneration products for clients in emerging technology markets. Position Overview / Mandate The FPGA Designer plays a key role in designing and delivering complex FPGAbased systems for Fidus clients. You will work directly with customers and internal Fidus teams to define architectures, implement RTL, integrate IP, run simulations, close timing, and support lab bringup and debug. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with new FPGA families and tools, is comfortable moving between different application domains (video, communications, storage, signal processing), and takes pride in producing highquality, welldocumented designs. Make an Impact At Fidus, youll work on highspeed, highcomplexity electronic systems, often using emerging technologies before they reach the broader market. Youll collaborate across FPGA/DSP, hardware, embedded software, verification, SI/PI, PCB layout, and mechanical/thermal design as part of crossfunctional teams delivering real products for our clients. In practice, that means contributing to projects in areas such as space and satellite systems, nextgeneration communications and networking, highperformance compute and storage platforms, advanced video, imaging, VR/AR applications, and industrial, medical, and automotive systems. You wont be limited to a single product or industryyour work will follow the technology, not just one roadmap. What Youll Be Doing Work with clients and other Fidus employees to develop complex FPGA and/or CPLD based systems, including architecture, custom development, integrated IP, simulations, and timing analysis and closure. Design FPGA based systems using Xilinx and Intel devices and tools. Participate in design reviews (hardwaresoftware interface, inputoutputs etc.) to ensure Fidus quality standards and customer requirements are being adhered to. Perform lab testing, debug of prototypes, and support hardware/software engineers as needed. Perform customer prototype demonstrations and author test plans, design description and user documentation.
