Kron Technologies is a high-performance, multidisciplinary hardware company that builds virtually everything in-house, from software and firmware for FPGAs and SOCs, to electronics, mechanics, and optics. We make innovative, high-speed imaging tools for demanding professionals, and we do it with a small, ambitious team of engineers who thrive on ownership and building things from the ground up. About The Role We are looking for a Senior FPGA Designer with strong digital design fundamentals and a passion for hands‑on engineering. You will contribute to cutting‑edge high‑speed imaging equipment by designing and implementing FPGA IP cores, building simulation environments, and supporting board bring‑up and integration. You will work within an established FPGA architecture alongside experienced engineers and will have the opportunity to grow your skills across image‑processing, high‑speed interfaces, and system‑level design. What You Will Do Design, implement, and verify FPGA IP cores in Verilog, from detailed specification through hardware validation. Build and maintain simulation testbenches (ModelSim, Xilinx Simulator, or equivalent) for IP‑core and system‑level validation. Implement logic to meet timing requirements in high‑speed, multi‑clock designs. Support bring‑up of FPGA designs on new hardware platforms, including physical interface validation (LVDS deserializers, sensor interfaces, high‑speed serial links). Work closely with hardware and software teams on board bring‑up, pin planning, and interface integration. Follow and contribute to design best practices, including clock‑domain‑crossing strategies, reset handling, and coding standards. Produce clear design documentation for IP cores and subsystems. Participate in code and design reviews. Debug FPGA‑related issues in the lab using scopes, logic analyzers, and embedded debug tools. Required Qualifications 5+ years of hands‑on FPGA design experience with solid Verilog/SystemVerilog skills. Experience with Xilinx FPGAs (Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC preferred). Working knowledge of C, Python, and TCL. Hands‑on experience bringing up FPGA designs on physical hardware, including debugging interfaces at the board level. Comfortable working on Linux platforms. Understanding of clock‑domain‑crossing techniques and the ability to close timing in multi‑clock designs. Experience designing or verifying high‑speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR4, or LVDS. Proficiency with simulation tools such as ModelSim or equivalent. Experience taking FPGA designs from implementation through integration and validation. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Experience with source‑control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows. Strong troubleshooting skills and a methodical approach to root‑cause analysis. Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. Desired Qualifications Exposure to camera systems, image‑signal‑processing pipelines, or video compression (ProRes, H.264/H.265, RAW formats). Familiarity with high‑speed sensor interfaces and image‑datapath design. Familiarity with DDR memory‑controller design and bandwidth optimization. Experience with Altium Designer or equivalent PCB‑design tools. Genuine electronics hobbyist with personal or side projects in digital design. Perks, Compensation And Benefits This is a full‑time salaried role. Compensation will be determined based on experience and skills, within the posted salary range. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, prescription coverage, RRSP matching, and a Health & Lifestyle Spending Account. You’ll also have access to our shop space for personal projects, along with educational support for continued learning and development. If this role sounds like a fit, please include a short note or cover letter in your application— we’d love to hear what excites you about this opportunity. * Applicants must be legally authorized to work in Canada at the time of application. * About Kron Technologies Inc. Kron Technologies is a fun, ambitious, and quickly growing business in its scale‑up phase that’s disrupting the world of high‑speed cameras.
