About the role#
You will help develop an FPGA-based research prototyping platform for real-time audio and active noise reduction experiments. This role focuses on electrical hardware and FPGA development, with opportunities to work across system architecture, circuit integration, digital signal processing, and audio testing. You will work alongside research engineers to turn platform requirements into a working system that allows researchers to implement and evaluate new algorithms.
What you'll do#
- Evaluate and integrate FPGA hardware, audio ADCs/DACs, clocking, power supplies, and analog and digital interfaces.
- Design or modify supporting circuits and interface boards.
- Develop FPGA logic for audio acquisition, routing, processing, and output.
- Bring up and troubleshoot hardware using laboratory instruments and FPGA debugging tools.
- Investigate MATLAB/Simulink integration to simplify the deployment of research algorithms.
- Implement pass-through, gain, and basic FIR/IIR filter examples, then compare hardware results with simulation.
- Characterize noise, dynamic range, frequency response, distortion, latency, crosstalk, and channel synchronization.
- Set up and conduct acoustic transfer-function measurements, loudspeaker-based testing, and active noise reduction evaluations.
- Develop repeatable measurement scripts and document setup procedures, results, limitations, and troubleshooting steps.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in an electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related degree program.
- Hands-on FPGA development experience using Verilog, VHDL, or equivalent tools.
- A strong understanding of digital electronics and electrical engineering fundamentals.
- Familiarity with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and systematic hardware troubleshooting.
- A basic understanding of sampling, digital filters, and DSP.
- The ability to work independently on defined engineering tasks and communicate results clearly.
- Experience with mixed-signal circuits, audio converters, or PCB design and bring-up is helpful.
- Knowledge of digital interfaces like I²S, TDM, or SPI.
- Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink, HDL generation, or embedded programming.
- Experience with audio measurements and automated hardware testing.
Location & details#
- This is a full-time, paid position based in Framingham, Massachusetts.
- The role is hybrid.
- Terms available: Winter 2027, Spring 2027, and Summer 2027.
