FPGA Test Engineer

Job Description

Primary Function of Position

The Ion™ endoluminal system is Intuitive's robotic platform for minimally invasive biopsy in the peripheral lung, with an initial goal of improving the early diagnosis of lung cancer. We are seeking a candidate with an analytical mind and familiarity with logic design to support test and development of new designs for our robotic platform. Working closely with the FPGA Design and Electrical Engineering teams, this position will implement testing of complex FPGA solutions for communications, video, control processing and other advanced capabilities.

In this position, you will be part of a team of talented engineers in a focused, high energy, collaborative work environment, challenged to make sound decisions when faced with the time pressures and ambiguous or incomplete information typical of research and development.

• Define and develop test architecture in collaboration with cross-functional partners in Electrical Engineering and FPGA Design

• Understand the implementation of video signal processing, DMA, high-speed communications, sensor integration, motor control, and modern embedded computing modules and develop test procedures for them

• Triage issues discovered during test and contribute to root cause analysis with the FPGA Design team

• Follow rigorous design control methodology during design verification

• Write detailed test documentation, including verification protocols and reports

• Develop skills in FPGA Design by contributing to selected design projects
