Yes, absolutely, as some of the other commenters have already said. Lots of jobs out there.Īre there dedicated FPGA careers, where people do just FPGA designs, implementation & validation? ( Just as they teach, whole FPGA dev cycle). The VHDL vs Verilog debate would most likely be answered by location an industry. You haven't told us where you are, or which industry (if any) you wish do to.

The engineering mindset is the important thing. But I've always been of the impression anyone can do any of it.

In fact some companies I have known will pay for hardware engineer to do a VHDL course, but won't do the same for software engineers as the mind set has to change so much. One thing I've noticed, coming from software going into VHDL can be harder than from hardware into VHDL, as VHDL is everything is happening at the same time, not sequentially like it is in software. I am now mainly doing VHDL, at a large company where there are some people doing just hardware, some doing hardware and VHDL as required and some doing just VHDL. Personally I used to be only hardware design, than branched off into doing VHDL as well as I was working for a smaller company where both were required.

I know many people who have only done VHDL for the past 20+ years. Lots of companies have dedicated FPGA teams (usualy doing Verilog or VHDL, very rare to to both or use an alternative).
