LightIC Technologies

FPGA and PCB Board Design

LightIC Technologies is seeking to hire talented and motivated electrical engineers to join our hardware team and help develop the electronic hardware design of the system. This person will lead the FPGA and circuit board design, implementation, and board bring-up to help enable a complete LiDAR system. The person will work closely with our optics & optoelectronics team. Join us if you are:

  • Interested in working in a rapid-growing early-stage startup
  • Enthusiastic about working on disruptive silicon photonics and LiDAR technologies

What you will do:

  •  FPGA prototyping including interface logic, control logic, and digital signal processing
    (DSP)
  • Printed Circuit Board design to integrate FPGA with other on-board electronic
    components (e.g. ADC/DAC)
  • System Debugging for high-throughput (GSa/s) data-rate processing
  • System bring-up

What you need to have:

  • BS in Electrical Engineering
  • Minimum 2 years’ experience in FPGA and PCB design
  • Experience with firmware design, simulation, debug, and test
  •  Experience in Xilinx/Altera FPGA Hardware environments for design and debug (Vivado,
    Quartus).
  • Experience in FPGA Hardware Platforms and tools (Protium, Zebu, HAPS and/or
    Xilinx/Altera FPGA based boards)
  • Experience with VHDL, Verilog or System Verilog and Logic Synthesis
  • Experience of scripting languages such as MATLAB, Python, Tcl, and/or Perl
  • Design of data-intensive architectures and functional blocks (Radar, LiDAR, HDTV)
  • Experience with High-speed (GSa/s) interfaces and High-speed PCB design techniques is
    a plus.

Nice to have:

  • MS or PhD, or 5+ years’ experience in a relevant field
  • Experience in signal processing algorithms for Radars
  • Experience in design and test of PCB boards with DACs/ADCs and TIAs
  • Comfortable working with both analog and digital electronics
  • Familiarity with lasers and optical detectors

What We Offer:

  • Be part of an early startup that is backed by industry-leading venture capitalist
  • Considerable equities of an early startup with a great potential
  • Very competitive compensation and exceptional benefits
  •  Paid lunch, dinner, office snacks, team off-sites, and mor
