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
- Run Vivado on your own Windows PC for scheduled design or verification sessions.
- Handle FPGA and RTL work across synthesis, timing, and verification tasks.
- Capture screenshots of tool activity that meet the 2.5-megapixel threshold.
- Use one qualifying high-resolution monitor or a dual-display setup that merges into a single spanning image.
- Keep your Vivado license and hardware active for the duration of the engagement.
- Follow Mercor's instructions for task submission and image quality.
Requirements7
- Hands-on experience with Vivado on Windows.
- Ability to open Vivado on your own PC today.
- Background in FPGA, RTL design, synthesis, timing, or verification.
- Familiarity with AMD/Xilinx FPGA and SoC design flows.
- A 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.
- Two 1920x1080+ monitors satisfy the dual-screen option, but one 1080p screen in that pair does not.
- Your 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.
