As of Aug 30, 2026, the average yearly pay for fpga developer in the United States is $132,198.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $107,000.00 and $154,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is an FPGA developer?

FPGA developers are engineers who specialize in designing, programming, and testing Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). FPGAs are integrated circuits that can be configured after manufacturing to perform specific hardware functions. FPGA developers use hardware description languages like VHDL or Verilog to create digital logic designs for applications such as telecommunications, automotive systems, and signal processing. Their work requires a strong understanding of both hardware and software, as well as experience with simulation and debugging tools.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FPGA developer?

To thrive as an FPGA Developer, you need a strong background in digital design, hardware description languages (such as VHDL or Verilog), and a relevant degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering. Familiarity with FPGA development tools like Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, and simulation environments is crucial, and industry certifications can provide an advantage. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are important soft skills for excelling in this role. These combined capabilities ensure the delivery of reliable, high-performance hardware solutions that meet complex system requirements.

How does an FPGA developer typically collaborate with hardware and software teams during a project?

FPGA Developers work closely with both hardware engineers and software developers to ensure seamless integration of programmable logic with the overall system. They often participate in design reviews, clarify interface requirements, and coordinate on timing and resource constraints. Regular communication and joint debugging sessions are common, especially when validating prototypes or troubleshooting system-level issues. This collaborative environment helps to ensure that FPGA solutions meet performance, functionality, and interoperability goals.

What is the difference between Fpga Developer vs Hardware Engineer?

AspectFpga DeveloperHardware Engineer
Required credentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; FPGA design certificationsBachelor's or higher in Electrical, Computer, or Electronics Engineering; often similar certifications
Work environmentDesigning, coding, and testing FPGA hardware and firmware; often in labs or officesDesigning and testing various hardware components, including PCBs and integrated circuits
Employer and industry usageTech companies, aerospace, defense, telecommunicationsConsumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors

Both roles require strong electrical engineering fundamentals and similar certifications. Fpga Developers focus specifically on FPGA hardware and firmware design, while Hardware Engineers may work on a broader range of electronic hardware. The work environments and industries overlap significantly, but Fpga Developers specialize in programmable logic devices.

Job description

Job Number: R0239364

FPGA Developer The Opportunity

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big-picture thinking to make an impact on national defense? You understand your client's environment and how to develop the right systems to support their mission. Your ability to translate real-world needs into technical specifications makes you a key contributor to delivering client-focused engineering solutions.

As an experienced electrical engineer with a background in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design, you will help solve complex challenges that drive the development of next-generation satellite systems. You will take on a hands-on role in designing, implementing, and testing FPGA-based processing architectures, while enhancing these systems through advanced technology solutions that meet demanding space and mission requirements.

You’ll apply your expertise while providing guidance to a cross-domain team focused on digital design, verification, and system integration. In this role, you will collaborate closely across engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration of FPGA designs into spacecraft subsystems. Through this work, you will help translate system-level requirements into robust hardware implementations that enable reliable on-orbit performance.

Join our team and help shape the future of resilient space systems in support of national security.

You Have
  • Experience using Vivado for embedded system design
  • Experience with Digital Signal Processing mathematics and implementing algorithms in synthesizable HDL
  • Experience with scientific analysis software, such as MATLAB
  • Experience with benchtop equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, arbitrary waveform generators, and vector signal generators
  • Knowledge of commercial RF and digital component and assembly distributors for rapid prototyping
  • Knowledge of wideband RF signal acquisition and generation, as well as FPGA development processes
  • Knowledge of RF signal propagation chain configurations
  • Secret clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 7+ years of experience in digital design through HDL and schematic layout, or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 5+ years of experience in digital design through HDL and schematic layout
Nice If You Have
  • Experience with FPGA development tools, such as AMD Vitis or Intel Quartus
  • Experience with EDA tools for HDL and RTL simulation, such as ModelSim, Questa, Xcelium, VCS, or Aldec
  • Knowledge of satellite requirements and design
  • Knowledge of space-specific requirements, including system hardening
  • Knowledge of RADAR and Electronic Attack (EA) and Electronic Support (ES) concepts
  • Knowledge of embedded Linux and RTOS development, including UBoot, Yocto, BitBake, OpenEmbedded, or device tree components
  • Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
Clearance

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
