Automotive Embedded Firmware Jobs in Raleigh, NC

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship 

Join a small, highly collaborative engineering team developing next-generation Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging technology for industrial, scientific, aerospace, defense, and machine vision applications. This is a rare opportunity to work directly on novel imaging technology and help shape products from initial concept through production release. This position is based at our location in North Carolina. 

We are looking for engineers who enjoy solving challenging technical problems and are excited by the prospect of making a visible impact in a small, agile organization. Our SWIR camera division functions as a start-up within the larger Onsemi organization. Members of our team are expected to take ownership across multiple disciplines while at the same time being supported by a global organization. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between FPGA design, digital hardware development, embedded systems, board bring-up, laboratory debugging, as well as schematic capture and PCB layout as needed.

If you are the type of engineer who enjoys wearing multiple hats and contributing wherever needed to move a product forward, this role offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge imaging systems alongside a highly experienced development team.

• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong experience in high-speed digital circuit design.
• FPGA hardware design experience.
• Proficiency in Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Experience with DDR3/DDR4 memory interfaces.
• Experience with high-speed serial interfaces (SERDES).
• Embedded processor hardware design experience.
• Embedded software development experience in C and/or C++.
• Experience interfacing ADCs, DACs, and mixed-signal devices using I2C, SPI, or similar protocols.
• Strong debugging and laboratory troubleshooting skills.
• Ability and willingness to contribute across multiple engineering disciplines in a small team environment.
• U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident.

• Design and develop high-speed digital hardware for advanced SWIR imaging systems.
• Architect and implement FPGA-based solutions for image acquisition, processing, and control.
• Develop FPGA code using Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Design and validate DDR3/DDR4 memory interfaces operating up to 800 MHz.
• Implement and debug high-speed SERDES interfaces operating up to 700 Mbps.
• Design FPGA power delivery and supporting power supply circuitry.
• Develop real-time image processing pipelines within FPGA architectures.
• Design embedded processor hardware and supporting circuitry.
• Develop and maintain embedded software in C and/or C++.
• Integrate ADCs, DACs, sensors, and peripherals using I2C, SPI, and related interfaces.
• Perform system integration, hardware bring-up, debugging, and performance optimization.
• Create and review schematics and, when project needs require, perform PCB layout and design support activities.
• Collaborate closely with sensor, firmware, software, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to deliver complete imaging solutions.
