Overview
FPGA/ASIC Digital Signal Processing Engineer
Magnefy is a venture-backed pre-seed stage startup redefining predictive maintenance for critical power infrastructure—transformers, switchgear, and generators—using AI-powered, high-frequency magnetic sensing. We’re looking for an innovative and mission-driven
FPGA/ASIC Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Engineer
to lead the DSP pipelines, with the ability to architect, design, and optimize systems that combine real-time data acquisition, processing, and cloud integration of our edge AIoT sensing platform. You’ll work hands-on across firmware and hardware—from prototyping to system integration and field deployment—translating real customer needs into scalable solutions. This is a rare opportunity to shape a transformative product from the ground up and grow into a key technical leader at a fast-moving startup. What You Will Do Join Magnefy to lead the development of real-time DSP pipelines for our edge AIoT platform, enabling early fault detection in critical power infrastructure. DSP Algorithm Development Design and implement real-time signal processing (filtering, FFT, spectral/harmonic analysis) on FPGA/ASIC using Verilog/VHDL Build and validate DSP models in Python or MATLAB Optimize for low power, low latency, and high reliability System Integration Integrate FPGA with sensor nodes and MCUs Design data flow to cloud using protocols like MQTT, LoRa, or Wi-Fi Collaborate across sensor, firmware, and cloud teams for robust system performance Testing & Deployment Lead lab and field validation of DSP systems Debug, optimize, and support deployment at customer sites Innovation & Leadership Stay current on DSP and edge AI trends Document designs and define product roadmap Key Qualifications FPGA/ASIC Design & Implementation : Strong experience with Verilog/VHDL for FPGA systems (Xilinx, Intel, etc.) Deep understanding of timing closure, synthesis, and hardware optimization Exposure to ASIC prototyping, design-for-test (DFT), and RTL design practices Capable of architecting FPGA designs with future ASIC integration in mind Digital Signal Processing (DSP) : Proficient in real-time DSP: filter design, FFT, harmonics detection, and signal conditioning Skilled in noise suppression and spectral feature extraction under tight latency/power constraints Experience with Python/MATLAB for DSP modeling, verification, and system-level validation Comfortable working hands-on with lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers) Able to troubleshoot real-world noisy signals and field deployment challenges Education & Experience : BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering 2–5 years of experience in embedded system design, DSP development, and FPGA/ASIC projects Nice to Have Experience with ASIC bring-up, RTL-to-GDSII flow, and collaboration with silicon foundries Familiarity with embedded ML acceleration or DSP-ML co-design for ASIC Background in ultra-low-power hardware and system-level design tradeoffs Experience with multi-modal sensing systems (e.g., combining magnetic, thermal, acoustic) Knowledge of IoT edge connectivity protocols and cloud integration (MQTT, AWS IoT, etc.) Proficiency in C/C++ or Python for system-level validation or driver development Understanding of secure embedded systems and firmware update frameworks General Information Travel: up to 10% Seniority level
