FPGA Engineer - Imaging (Finance)
Company Description At Intuitive, we are united behind our mission: we believe that minimally invasive care is life‑enhancing care. Through ingenuity and intelligent technology, we expand the potential of physicians to heal without constraints. As a pioneer and market leader in robotic‑assisted surgery, we strive to foster an inclusive and diverse team, committed to making a difference. For more than 30 years, we have worked with hospitals and care teams around the world to help solve some of healthcare's hardest challenges and advance what is possible. Intuitive has been built by the efforts of great people from diverse backgrounds. We believe great ideas can come from anywhere. We strive to foster an inclusive culture built around diversity of thought and mutual respect. We lead with inclusion and empower our team members to do their best work as their most authentic selves. Passionate people who want to make a difference drive our culture. Our team members are grounded in integrity, have a strong capacity to learn, the energy to get things done, and bring diverse, real‑world experiences to help us think in new ways. We actively invest in our team members to support their long‑term growth so they can continue to advance our mission and achieve their highest potential.
Job Description Reporting to the Manager of FPGA - Imaging, this Engineer will play a role in delivering best‑in‑class image/video processing solutions for our da Vinci systems (and other robotic platforms), as part of an excellent cross‑functional team. The engineer in this position will work with the broader Vision and EE teams to architect, implement and verify image sensor interfaces and image processing algorithms on FPGAs / FPGA SoCs deployed on the platform. This includes components in the entire processing chain, photon‑to‑photon: from image sensor data acquisition to stereo (and mono) displays.
The ideal candidate will possess a background in FPGA‑based video/image processing with exposure to typical image processing algorithms and image sensor interfaces - implementation and evaluation with the trade‑offs between visual quality, performance, and FPGA resource utilization in mind.
Responsibilities
Implement designs using (System)Verilog and verify in simulation and on hardware
Partner with cross‑functional experts to drive balanced trade‑offs across resources, cost, performance, and practicality to deliver optimal video processing architectures.
Collaborate on improvements to FPGA design and verification methodology; explore avenues to reduce development and verification time
Investigate and evaluate new FPGA / FPGA‑SoC platforms for low‑latency video processing
Qualifications
Minimum of 5 years of experience and a Bachelor's degree; or 3 years of experience and a Master's degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience
Experience with SystemVerilog, C (or C++) and a scripting language such as Python or Tcl
Understanding of and experience with high‑speed digital design and associated challenges
Foundation in using FPGA build tools such as: AMD/Xilinx, Intel and/or Lattice
Foundation in using FPGA simulation tools, environments and in test bench development
Understanding of static timing analysis / timing constraints
Experience with FPGA part and pin selection process
Experience with video I/O standards and interfaces: HDMI, DisplayPort, MIPI CSI‑2/DSI, SDI; integration of vendor/IP cores
Experience with revision control software e.g. Git
Experience with Intel Agilex / Stratix, AMD Versal devices is a plus
Due to the nature of our business and the role, please note that Intuitive and/or your customer(s) may require that you show current proof of vaccination against certain diseases including COVID‑19. Details can vary by role.
