FPGA Engineer

Semidynamics is looking for an experienced FPGA Engineer to join our team and help push the boundaries of RISC-V prototyping and emulation. In this role, you'll integrate RTL releases into new FPGA designs, fine-tune peripheral configurations to maximize performance, and develop custom RTL modules that give our RISC-V cores the optimal I/O setup for emulation and prototyping. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to translate their needs into robust FPGA solutions, help maintain and grow our in-house FPGA resource pool, and contribute to demonstration systems that showcase our technology to clients.

Responsibilities:

• Integrate RTL code releases into new FPGA designs;

• Configure FPGA peripherals for maximizing the performance of the RISC-V prototyping solutions;

• Implement new RTL modules to provide the RISC-V core under emulation/prototyping with the optimal I/O configurations;

• Interact with other teams to understand their requirements for new features and on how that can be leveraged into the FPGA designs;

• Maintain and further improve our in-house FPGA resource pool;

• Provide support and develop new features to be used in demonstration systems for company clients. Requirements

• 3+ years of industrial experience

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Engineering, Electronics or Telecommunications.

• Experience working with Xilinx (or Altera) FPGAs using Xilinx Vivado (or Altera Quartus);

• Proficient with HDL languages, preferably Verilog or SystemVerilog;

• Work experience with scripting languages, preferably tcl and Bash;

• Work experience with git version control;

• Working in a Linux environment;

• Knowledge of AXI4/AXI4-Lite, UART, I2C, SPI protocols;

• Experience in using the Integrated Logic Analyser (ILA);

• Experience in hardware debugging using laboratory equipment (multimeter, oscilloscopes, waveform generators, spectrum analysers).

What will make you stand out:

• Experience with timing constraints;
• Knowledge on Xilinx Aurora, PCIe and Ethernet;
• Knowledge of CHI protocol;
