FPGA Engineer

Location: Remote

Founded in 1911, this global electrical equipment and grid technology organization employs approximately 1,000 to 5,000 people worldwide, with more than 2,000 employees based in its Chicago headquarters and manufacturing campus. For over a century, the company has designed and manufactured advanced switching, protection, and control solutions for electric power transmission and distribution systems, helping utilities and industrial customers build safer, more reliable, and intelligent electrical infrastructure.

The Chicago location serves as the company's primary innovation, engineering, and manufacturing hub, where teams develop and produce medium- and high-voltage switching equipment, smart grid automation systems, energy storage solutions, and power quality technologies. This facility also houses advanced R and D capabilities focused on grid modernization, automation, and resiliency technologies designed to support a more sustainable and outage-resistant power grid.

The organization supports customers across electric utilities, renewable energy providers, commercial and industrial operations, data centers, and government and military applications that depend on reliable and resilient electrical power systems.

The FPGA Engineer will play a critical role in designing and developing high-performance digital hardware solutions that enable advanced control, protection, and communication functions within next-generation power grid equipment.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and implement FPGA-based solutions supporting grid automation, switching, and protection systems used in power distribution and control applications.
