Your opportunity

By joining the Kardium team, you can help make a difference in the lives of millions around the world. We have developed a ground-breaking medical device for the minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of the most common heart rhythm disorder, atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation can cause stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.

Kardium has a fantastic technical team that has developed a product with strong, unique, and customer-valued differentiators versus other solutions on the market: The Globe® Pulsed Field System. We have built connections with key opinion leaders who are already using the Globe System and are helping to tell our story.

We have obtained FDA approval and officially begun the commercial launch of the Globe® Pulsed Field System. This is a pivotal and exciting time in our journey, as we bring this life-changing technology to patients!

We are looking for a Junior FPGA Engineer to help support the next generation of high-quality medical devices. In this role, you will gain hands-on experience in the development and commercialization of complex and leading-edge FPGA-based systems. You will be responsible for supporting and improving the FPGA designs that power our medical devices.

Please note, this opportunity is a hybrid work arrangement, located in Burnaby, BC.

What you’ll be doing

The Junior FPGA Engineer position focuses on FPGA development and verification activities. You will work as part of a highly collaborative team to support and enhance FPGA functionality. If you are passionate about FPGA design for medical devices, this is an excellent opportunity to contribute to an innovative product that improves patient outcomes.

Your responsibilities will include but not limited to:

• Assisting in FPGA design, including implementing and verifying modules under senior team members' guidance.
• Supporting debugging efforts for FPGA-related issues, working closely with firmware and hardware teams.
• Writing and maintaining testbenches to validate FPGA functionality.
