FPGA DESIGNER

THE POSITION

As an FPGA Designer, your daily work will consist of developing FPGA projects in HDL code (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog) based on functional requirements.

The ability to define the FPGA architecture, to develop custom blocks and to integrate third-party IPs is required. Applicants should be able to carry out the whole FPGA implementation and debug flows (synthesis, place & route, RTL and post-layout simulations). The ability to perform static timing analysis and to identify actions to close timing is also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• FPGA Development: Design and implement FPGA logic using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.

• RTL Coding: Create and optimize Register-Transfer Level (RTL) code for digital logic systems.

• Simulation and Testing: Conduct simulations and hardware testing to validate FPGA designs.

• Performance Optimization: Optimize designs for speed, power efficiency, and resource utilization.

• Timing Analysis: Perform static timing analysis to meet timing constraints and ensure reliability.

• IP Core Integration: Incorporate pre-designed IP cores into FPGA systems.

• Collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams, including hardware and software engineers.

• Documentation: Prepare design specifications, test plans, and technical documentation.

• Tool Proficiency: Use FPGA development tools like Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus.

• System Integration: Ensure FPGA designs integrate seamlessly into larger systems, adhering to protocols like PCIe, Ethernet, or UART.
