You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, and customer engineering to develop quality, innovative and reliable solutions, which are deployed in an extremely diverse range of industries.
What You’ll Do
- Design and implement digital logic using VHDL for FPGAs.
- Develop and optimise high-speed, low-latency FPGA designs targeting AMD/Xilinx Ultrascale Plus devices.
- Integrate FPGA modules with embedded systems, processors, and high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, HBM, DDR4, AXI)
- Perform functional simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and optimization using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g. Vivado, ModelSim).
- Leverage industry-standard development tools and workflows to manage work, code changes, testing and integration (e.g. Jira, Git, CI/CD).
- Create and maintain both internal and customer facing documentation including design specifications, test plans, and user guides.
- Work closely with hardware, software and account teams to define technical requirements and business needs.
- Support platform bring-up, validation, and debugging in the lab using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG tools.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of FPGA development processes, methodologies and design practices.
Required:
- Bachelor’s or higher degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in FPGA or ASIC design and development.
- Proficiency in a hardware description language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog.
- Experience with FPGA development tools (Vivado, Quartus, etc.).
- Strong understanding of digital logic, high-speed design, and timing closure.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with scripting languages (Tcl, Python, etc.) for automation.
- Knowledge of version control systems (e.g., Git).
- Knowledge of Ethernet, and OSI layer model.
Competencies:
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Effective communication and collaboration in cross-disciplinary teams.
- Self-motivated with a strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet project deadlines.
