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;
