FPGA Engineer

About Tycho.AI Tycho.AI builds autonomy solutions for unmanned systems operating in GPS- and comms-denied environments. We are a fast-growing, dual-use technology company at the forefront of national security and commercial innovation, with a mission to push the boundaries of what autonomous systems can achieve. Backed by VCs with unicorn wins and trusted by defense customers, our team is rethinking autonomy from the chip up using modular AI, advanced visual-inertial sensing, and real-time edge compute to unlock next-gen mission capability. About the Role As an FPGA Engineer at Tycho AI, you will design, build, and validate accelerators for intelligent autonomous systems. You will collaborate with a cross-functional team of electrical, mechanical, and software experts to explore new concepts through rapid, iterative prototyping. We are seeking adaptable engineers who collaborate effectively across disciplines, brainstorm innovative ideas, and navigate through emerging embedded technologies. Most importantly, you should have a proven ability to drive a concept through the prototype phase and excel in hardware/software co-development. Responsibilities Define, build, and enhance FPGA-based prototyping platforms Utilize rapid FPGA prototyping techniques to validate the technical feasibility of algorithmic subsystems Familiarity with computer architectural techniques for enabling high-throughput, resource-efficient acceleration Build vendor-neutral FPGA/RTL designs intended to prototype ASIC implementations Coordinate with 3rd party vendors for software, firmware, and IP cores Create FPGA interface documentation for hardware/software interfaces Collaborate in a team environment spanning various technical domains Requirements Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience 3+ years of FPGA design experience using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL 3+ years of FPGA design experience using AMD/Xilinx or Intel/Altera devices, Gowin or Lattice Programming familiarity in C and/or C++ Programming experience in one or more scripting languages such as Python, tcl, shell scripts, or equivalent EDA tool scripting languages Experience developing accompanying firmware to exercise and drive FPGA prototypes Nice to Have Experiences with HLS for fast hardware prototyping Experiences with robotics algorithms and ROS2 integration Experiences with software-defined radio (SDR) Experiences with electronic warfare (EW) and/or RADAR Experiences with ASIC design flow Experiences working with embedded robotics platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson Why Tycho.AI Be part of a rapidly scaling startup defining the future of autonomous intelligence.
