SIONYX is known for pioneering digital night vision and has always been at the forefront of low- and no-light imaging systems. We are accelerating our leadership through the use of AI across our entire business, including our silicon compute layer. We are looking for a forward leaning, agile and action-oriented engineer who is motivated by challenging the status quo and never says ‘because that how we have always done it…’ We want an innovative change agent who can leverage the revolutionary capabilities of AI inside our world-leading imaging systems.\n\nUsing AI, the FPGA Image Processing Engineer will drive the design and FPGA implementation of low-latency advanced image processing pipelines for SIONYX’s world-class ultra-low light image sensors and thermal sensors. You will maintain and expand our existing FPGA pipeline by improving existing ISP blocks and creating new blocks based on algorithms generated by you or other members of the team. Your work will directly improve the performance of our state-of-the-art low-light cameras for both commercial and defense applications. That means you are going to be helping lead the charge for American leadership in night-vision for both consumer and military customers. You must be comfortable working in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment, and you will provide thoroughness in your development, evaluation, and documentation processes.\n\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities:\n\nUse AI tools such as Claude Code to efficiently drive code development\n\nImplement image processing pipeline for low-light and thermal sensors in VHDL\n\nWork closely with engineering, marketing and customer support teams to identify improvements in image processing\n\nUsing Python, Matlab or similar create software representations of new image processing algorithms developed by you or the team, then efficiently implement in VHDL\n\nWork closely with 3rd party vendor partners\n\nWork closely with the embedded firmware team to support them implementing firmware required to drive the hardware image processing pipeline\n\nMaintain FPGA toolchain, build environment and version control\n\nContribute to system architecture design and FPGA selection\n\nSolid documentation skills, including use of tools like GitHub and Confluence/Jira\n\nRequired Experience:\n\nExperienced and passionate about using AI tools such as Claude Code to transform the trade.\n\n3+ years of experience with FPGA design and VHDL, especially memory-efficient architectures.
