Staff FPGA Design Engineer
Toronto, Ontario • Direct Hire • February 19, 2026 • 85664
Base Salary Range: $200 - $300
Job Title: Staff FPGA Design Engineer
Job ID: 85664
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Overview:
As a Senior FPGA Design Engineer, you will be the hands-on builder, fusing chip design expertise with ML to create the foundational blocks of our autonomous design flow. In this role, you won’t just design chips, you will create the libraries, IP and benchmarks that teach our AI how to design chips. You will work alongside a cross-functional team of world-class engineers and researchers to translate hardware logic into artificial chip intelligence.
What you will be doing:
-
Partner with ML and Software teams as a key hardware domain expert, translating complex silicon constraints into actionable insights for model training and agentic design
-
Develop high-quality RTL libraries, IP blocks and processor designs that serve as training data and composable parts of our environment
-
Build and maintain an ecosystem of benchmarks and reference designs used to evaluate and increase the design velocity of our tools
-
Execute and refine novel chip design methodologies, from architectural specs to synthesized netlists to complete bitstreams to identify where AI can optimize the flow
-
Generate and curate massive datasets of syntactic and semantic hardware code to improve model robustness
-
Implement robust verification environments, writing the SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and assertions with our tools that ensure our generated designs are correct-by-construction
What you must have:
-
Bachelor’s or Masters in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
-
5-10 years of experience in RTL design, or a combination of design and verification
-
Experience with AMD/Xilinx (Vivado, Vitis) and Altera/Intel (Quartus) ecosystems or ASIC physical design chains, including SoC and IP integrations
-
Experience with hands-on debugging - simulators, waveform viewing, coverage collection
Salary/Rate Range: $200.00 -$300.00
