Senior FPGA Engineer - Imaging

Reporting to the Manager of FPGA Imaging this Engineer will play a role in delivering bestinclass image/video processing solutions for our da Vinci systems (and other robotic platforms) as part of an excellent crossfunctional team. The engineer in this position will work with the broader Vision and EE teams to architect implement and verify image sensor interfaces and image processing algorithms on FPGAs / FPGA SoCs deployed on the platform. This includes components in the entire processing chain photontophoton: from image sensor data acquisition to stereo (and mono) displays.

The ideal candidate will possess a proven background in FPGAbased video/image processing with exposure to typical image processing algorithms and image sensor interfaces implementation and evaluation with the tradeoffs between visual quality performance and FPGA resource utilization in mind.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement highperformance image/video processing pipelines in FPGAs
• Collaborate with other experts in imaging to craft the best tradeoffs in resources cost performance and practicality to create optimal video processing architectures
• Work with other contributors in the FPGA space to harmonize the video processing implementation with established best practices
• Implement designs using (System)Verilog and C/C (High Level Synthesis)
• Verify implemented designs in simulation and on hardware
• Collaborate on improvements to FPGA design and verification methodology; investigate new technologies that would reduce development / verification time
• Explore and evaluate new FPGA / FPGASoC platforms for lowlatency video processing

Qualifications :

Required Education Skills and Experience
