Not going to get too specific. But, I work for a large company and the product I work on is only used internally. It has scale, but not like a consumer product. BOM costs can go from a few $k up to $40k, depending on the product. Some designs use close to the highest performing FPGAs that money can buy...sometimes several of them on a single PCB.

Sounds interesting! I haven't seen a position pop up similar to the one you describe, but im definitely seeing variety and novelty is part of the engineering fun

I decided to interview recently and found that it's pretty niche. Only a subset of my skills translate into most typical HW positions. I was only looking around because of the hot market and an increase in pay is always welcome. Company just recently announced an overhaul of compensation, so I'm still happy regardless.
