Company

hirify.global is a technology-focused consulting organization developing next-generation medical devices.

What you will do

• Design and own FPGA-centric board-level schematics, including component selection, power architecture, clock distribution, DDR interfaces, and analog signal conditioning.
• Architect, implement, and verify complex Xilinx FPGA designs using Vivado and Vitis, including custom IP blocks connected through AXI4 interfaces.
• Develop Linux kernel drivers, user-space libraries, and low-level software connecting FPGA logic with C++, Rust, and Python applications.
• Contribute throughout the medical-device product lifecycle, including requirements, architecture, FMEA, verification, and regulatory documentation.
• Guide PCB stack-up and high-speed routing, perform board bring-up and bench testing, and debug signal-integrity and schematic issues.
• Profile and optimize embedded systems for low latency, high throughput, SWAP-C constraints, and patient safety.

Requirements

• 4–7+ years of hands-on embedded systems development experience.
• Experience creating complex FPGA-based board schematics with Altium Designer, KiCad, or similar tools, including power sequencing, high-speed routing, and mixed-signal layout considerations.
• Deep knowledge of Xilinx Vivado, Vitis, custom IP development, and AXI interconnects.
• Proficiency in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog for synthesis, simulation, and timing closure.
• Strong embedded Linux experience with Yocto, PetaLinux, or Buildroot, including kernel configuration and cross-compilation.
• Fluency in C/C++ or Rust and Python, plus knowledge of SPI, I2C, UART, and high-speed serial links.

Nice to have

• Experience in regulated medical-device environments, including FDA, MDR, or IEC 62304 requirements.
• Experience with precision analog front-ends, ADCs, DACs, and PMICs.
• Experience with DSP, Zynq, MPSoC, RFSoC, or high-speed transceivers.

Culture & Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) plan with employer contribution.
• Paid holidays and vacation.
• Tuition reimbursement.
• Work in a high-performing, professional, technology-focused organization.
