FPGA Design Services for Automotive Systems

Developing FPGA-based automotive systems requires more than raw performance. Designs must meet strict safety, reliability, and lifecycle requirements while operating in demanding real-world environments.

This page is for companies building automotive electronics such as ADAS, radar, sensor fusion, in-vehicle networking, or high-reliability control systems that require production-ready FPGA designs.

Automotive FPGA projects are rarely experimental. They are expected to perform deterministically, survive long product lifecycles, and integrate cleanly into complex vehicle architectures.

Typical automotive FPGA applications

FPGA design services are commonly used in automotive systems such as:

• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
• Automotive radar and sensing platforms
• Sensor fusion and real-time data processing
• In-vehicle networking (Automotive Ethernet, CAN, FlexRay)
• High-speed data acquisition from cameras and sensors
• Control and monitoring systems with real-time constraints

These applications often push the limits of latency, bandwidth, and determinism while operating under strict safety and reliability expectations.

Why automotive companies outsource FPGA design

Many automotive teams outsource FPGA development when:

• Internal resources lack deep FPGA or real-time experience
• Performance or latency targets are difficult to meet
• System complexity grows beyond initial assumptions
• Long-term maintainability and stability are critical
• Safety-related design discipline is required
• Time-to-market pressure increases

Experienced FPGA design partners help reduce risk by applying proven architectures, verification strategies, and disciplined development workflows suitable for automotive programs.

Key challenges in automotive FPGA projects

Automotive FPGA designs introduce challenges that are uncommon in other industries:

• Deterministic real-time behavior under all conditions
• Integration with multiple sensors and ECUs
• Long product lifecycles and component availability
• System scalability from prototype to series production
• Robust handling of edge cases and failure modes

Addressing these challenges requires both technical FPGA expertise and an understanding of automotive system expectations.

How HardwareBee helps

HardwareBee connects you with FPGA design companies experienced in automotive systems.

Through this page, you can reach:

• FPGA teams with ADAS and automotive sensing experience
• Vendors skilled in real-time and safety-oriented designs
• Design partners capable of supporting long product lifecycles
• Companies familiar with automotive system integration

Instead of contacting multiple vendors individually, you describe your project once and get matched with FPGA specialists suited to automotive requirements.

How the process works

1. Describe your automotive FPGA project at a high level
2. Your request is shared with relevant FPGA design companies
3. Interested vendors respond with capabilities and availability

You remain in control of who you engage and how the project proceeds.
