FPGA – Junior FPGA Engineer

Duties

• Implement design blocks and IPs using VHDL.
• Simulate design design blocks and IPs with higher level testbenches.
• Participate in all phases of FPGA integration flow.
• Develop IPs drivers (user & kernel space) and support the software team on the software integration.
• Support the design of complex products that use FPGAs over the whole process flow (architecture, design and testing).
• Test, debug and validate FPGAs on target in the lab using higher-level custom tools in Python / C /etc.

Must have

• MSc or PhD degree in electrical engineering.
• Experience in VHDL and/or Verilog / System Verilog.
• Strong understanding of FPGA design flow (synthesis, place & route, etc)
• Good understanding of software and hardware interaction.
• Comfortable with using power supplies, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers in a lab environment (without burning the lab down!)
• Excellent verbal and written skills to interact across the avionics design teams.
• Fluent in English.

Nice to have

• Ability to read and understand schematics and layouts.
• Knowledge of DSP algorithms for RF signal processing and/or optical transceivers.
• Knowledge of image processing algorithms.
• First hand experience or good knowledge of high speed (> 5Gbps) links.
• Experience in scripting/programming – including low-level programming (firmware) of complex computer systems.
• Experience with script language (Python).
• Proficiency in a command line environment using Linux (ability to write scripts).
• First hand knowledge and/or interest in the Linux Kernel.
