Job Description Summary

As a leading global medical technology, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and digital solutions innovator, GE HealthCare enables clinicians to make faster, more informed decisions through intelligent devices, data analytics, applications, and services, supported by the Edison intelligence platform. We are committed to fostering a culture of respect, transparency, and unyielding integrity. We are seeking a Firmware Engineer specializing in FPGA development and embedded real time control, with strong skills in digital design and low level embedded software. In this role, you will design the firmware and control systems that interface tightly with power electronics, mixed signal ASICs and advanced imaging hardware used across CT, MR, and Ultrasound platforms. Familiarity with power electronics and/or ASIC RTL design is a strong plus.

We are committed to fostering a culture of respect, transparency, and unyielding integrity.

We are seeking a Firmware Engineer specializing in FPGA development and embedded real‑time control, with strong skills in digital design and low‑level embedded software. In this role, you will design the firmware and control systems that interface tightly with power electronics, mixed‑signal ASICs and advanced imaging hardware used across CT, MR, and Ultrasound platforms. Familiarity with power electronics and/or ASIC RTL design is a strong plus.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to the planning, development, and transition of embedded control technologies from concept to product. You will:

Embedded Firmware & Real‑Time Control (Primary Focus)

  • Implement and test signal processing, control and data interfaces between FPGAs, processors, custom ASICs and imaging subsystems.
  • Design FPGAs and custom ASICs using VHDL/Verilog, perform timing analysis and timing closure using tools such as QuestaSim, Quartus, Xcelium.
  • Design and implement real-time embedded firmware in C/C++ for control, configuration, calibration, and diagnostics of mixed‑signal ASICs and custom hardware modules.
  • Develop deterministic, low‑latency control loops and high‑speed data acquisition routines for advanced imaging applications.
  • Integrate embedded firmware with FPGA or SoC platforms, supporting tight hardware/software co‑design.
  • Interface with sensors, analog front ends, actuators, RF subsystems, and other hardware components.
  • Implement and optimize real‑time communication protocols (SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, etc.).

Software Integration & System Control

  • Partner with embedded software teams to define register maps, communication layers, drivers, and system-level behavior.
  • Develop driver‑level software, scripts, and automation tools to enable hardware bring‑up, system validation, and production test.
  • Create simulation and modeling frameworks to verify real‑time control algorithms.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Innovation

  • Work closely with electrical engineers, ASIC designers, systems engineers, and software teams.
  • Communicate technical results through documentation, reports, and presentations.
  • Track industry trends in embedded systems, real‑time control, FPGAs, and ASIC technologies.
  • Contribute to internal R&D proposals and collaborative programs with government agencies.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Strong fundamentals in synchronous digital design, floor-planning, synthesizable RTL code, timing analysis and closure, developing embedded firmware in C/C++, including register-level programming and hardware abstraction layers.
  • Experience with FPGA development, or SoC platforms (e.g., Altera, Xilinx, Zynq)
  • Experience with verification tools (Quartus, QuestaSim) and STA workflows.
  • Experience with Verilog, VHDL for understanding hardware–firmware interaction.
  • Must work onsite in Niskayuna, NY Tuesday–Thursday (hybrid schedule).

Desired Characteristics

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 4+ years of full-time professional engineering experience
  • Familiarity with ASIC digital design flows
  • Familiarity with power electronics control
  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling or algorithm development.
  • Background in high‑reliability industries (medical, aerospace, defense).
  • Strong problem-solving ability, communication skills, and ability to work in cross-functional teams

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
