Vivado on Windows Application User - Remote
Listing checked September 13, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor needs professionals who already have Vivado on a Windows PC and can open the program today. The project serves FPGA and RTL design, synthesis, timing, and verification work for AMD/Xilinx devices. You bring your own machine, because no licenses, virtual machines, or hardware come with the role. A display setup that captures screenshots above 2.5 megapixels is mandatory, either through one high-resolution monitor or two side-by-side screens.
What You'll Do6
- 1Run Vivado on your own Windows PC for scheduled design or verification sessions.
- 2Handle FPGA and RTL work across synthesis, timing, and verification tasks.
- 3Capture screenshots of tool activity that meet the 2.5-megapixel threshold.
- 4Use one qualifying high-resolution monitor or a dual-display setup that merges into a single spanning image.
- 5Keep your Vivado license and hardware active for the duration of the engagement.
- 6Follow Mercor's instructions for task submission and image quality.
Requirements7
- 1Hands-on experience with Vivado on Windows.
- 2Ability to open Vivado on your own PC today.
- 3Background in FPGA, RTL design, synthesis, timing, or verification.
- 4Familiarity with AMD/Xilinx FPGA and SoC design flows.
- 5A monitor setup that captures images above 2.5 megapixels. A single high-resolution screen qualifies, or two side-by-side displays captured as one spanning image.
- 6Two 1920x1080+ monitors satisfy the dual-screen option, but one 1080p screen in that pair does not.
- 7Your own software license, Windows machine, and hardware. Mercor does not supply these.
Who Should Apply
FPGA and RTL engineers who already run Vivado on a Windows PC fit this role best. The position suits someone comfortable with AMD/Xilinx flows, synthesis, timing, and verification. Candidates without a current Vivado license, a Windows machine, or the ability to open the tool today will have trouble qualifying. A common rejection reason is claiming a dual-monitor setup when one screen is only 1080p, since a single 1080p display in a pair does not meet the screenshot rule. Another low-fit signal is expecting Mercor to provide licenses, virtual machines, or hardware, because the project offers none of those.
Salary Insight
The role pays $45-$55/hr. That range matches experienced FPGA and RTL contractors who supply their own Vivado license and Windows workstation. The exact rate may depend on your verification depth and display configuration.

Application Tip
Before applying, confirm Vivado opens on your Windows PC, then note your exact monitor resolution and whether you use a single qualifying screen or two side-by-side displays. Mention AMD/Xilinx FPGA or RTL verification work in your background, and include a sample screenshot above 2.5 megapixels if you can.
