Fidus Systems designs complex electronic systems—FPGAs, ASICs, embedded software, and hardware—for startups and established semiconductor vendors. The tech stack (Xilinx, Intel, Verilog, SystemVerilog, Vivado, Quartus) reflects deep hardware-design expertise. Current hiring is engineering-heavy (12 roles) with strong mid-to-senior representation, signaling active project scaling. Manufacturing compliance and PCB cost reduction appear as persistent internal challenges, suggesting the firm is maturing its design-for-manufacturability processes.
Fidus Systems is an electronic system design and development firm founded in 2001, based in Ottawa with offices in Waterloo and San Jose. The company has completed over 4,000 projects across FPGA design, ASIC RTL design and verification, embedded software development, and hardware design. Clients span early-stage companies and Tier 1 vendors in semiconductors, communications, and compute. The firm maintains partnerships with AMD and Altera (Intel Altera), positioning it to access vendor tools and reference architectures for high-speed digital and analog designs. Current work includes space/satellite systems, next-generation communications, high-performance compute platforms, and advanced imaging applications.
Xilinx (now AMD), Intel, Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, Vivado, Quartus, ModelSim, Altium, HFSS, LTspice, and OrCAD Capture CIS. Also uses Salesforce and HubSpot for business operations.
