VHDL Developer

Vintti is revolutionizing remote staffing by prioritizing time zone alignment. We connect US-based SMBs, startups, and firms with Latin American professionals who work synchronously with US schedules. This approach ensures that businesses can maintain their usual workflows, conduct real-time meetings, and collaborate effectively without the typical challenges of working across disparate time zones.

A VHDL Developer specializes in designing and implementing hardware description language (HDL) code using VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) for programmable logic devices such as FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) or ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits). This role involves creating and optimizing digital circuits, verifying and validating designs through simulation, and ensuring efficient synthesis and performance. VHDL Developers collaborate closely with hardware engineers and system architects to translate technical requirements into robust and reliable hardware solutions, playing a crucial role in the development of cutting-edge electronic systems.
