FPGA Development Tools Engineer – Synthesis (FPGA)

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Salary: 129.1K–187.0K CAD annually, plus performance-based incentive opportunities.

Company

hirify.global develops programmable FPGA solutions and compiler tools for AI, cloud computing, networking, and edge applications.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and optimize synthesis algorithms that convert Verilog, SystemVerilog, and VHDL RTL into efficient gate-level representations.
• Contribute to the FPGA compiler flow by integrating synthesis with placement, routing, and static timing analysis.
• Improve quality of results across performance, power, and area through synthesis-driven optimization.
• Develop tools and methodologies for analyzing and transforming complex RTL designs.
• Debug timing, logic-structure, and mapping issues and drive their resolution with architecture, STA, placement, routing, and validation teams.
• Build scripting, automation, and internal tooling to improve synthesis flows and engineering productivity.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in FPGA or ASIC design, EDA tools, or related fields.
• Strong hands-on experience with RTL design and synthesis flows using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures.
• Understanding of logic synthesis, optimization, FPGA or ASIC design flows, and timing-driven design.
• Experience with debugging and performance analysis, plus the ability to develop scalable, high-performance solutions.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field; relevant doctoral-study experience may count toward the experience requirement.

Nice to have

• Experience with Quartus, Vivado, or other synthesis tools and FPGA toolchains.
• Knowledge of FPGA architectures, including LUTs, DSPs, BRAM, and interconnect.
• Experience with retiming, logic restructuring, resource sharing, Python, Tcl, compiler development, or EDA algorithms.
• Experience working in large, distributed engineering teams.

Culture & Benefits

• Opportunity to build core synthesis technology for next-generation FPGA platforms.
• Influence compiler architecture and performance at scale.
• Collaboration with engineers across silicon, architecture, and software.
• Canadian work experience is not required.
• Applicants must be eligible for any required Canadian export authorizations.
