Senior FPGA Engineer

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Codematix Pty Ltd Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

Join one of the most technically advanced FPGA teams in Australia, designing cutting-edge systems where you'll be working on high-performance, timing-critical designs.

This is a role for engineers who enjoy pushing FPGAs to their limits—where MHz matter, timing margins are tight, and LUTs must be used with precision.

This is a senior position and requires you to have 10+ years FPGA design experience.

What You'll Work On:

  • Architect and implement FPGA designs running at higher clock frequencies, with strict timing and deterministic performance requirements.
  • Optimise datapaths for throughput and latency, balancing pipeline depth and logic resource usage (LUTs, FFs, DSPs).
  • Drive the complete design cycle—from RTL through synthesis, timing closure, and lab validation on real hardware.
  • Debug complex interactions between FPGAs, high-speed memory interfaces (DDR3/DDR4)
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of hardware, software, and systems engineers on highly integrated products.

Your Skillset:

  • 10+ years FPGA design experience
  • Good understanding of VHDL / Verilog for high-speed designs
  • Understanding of synchronous design techniques and how to keep designs stable when things get complex
  • Familiarity with Vivado timing analysis, debugging, and scripting (Tcl/Python) for build/test automation.
  • Hands-on with hardware validation and system-level debugging using scopes, analysers, and JTAG tools.

The Other Stuff:

  • The position is based in Sydney CBD
  • Permanent residency or citizenship preferred, but sponsorship is available for standout candidates
  • Onsite or video interviews available

Please feel free to get in touch with any questions.
