Who Youll Work With

We are seeking skilled and motivated individuals to join our FPGA development team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design implementation verification and testing of FPGA-based digital systems used in cutting-edge networking products. 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 Youll 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.
