Job Details

What You'll Do:
  • Architect and implement FPGA logic for high-speed data processing, signal generation, and network acceleration.
  • Optimize designs for sub-microsecond latency, timing closure, and resource efficiency.
  • Simulate, verify, and debug designs using industry-standard tools (e.g., ModelSim, Vivado, Quartus).
  • Collaborate with software, network, and systems engineers to define interfaces and protocols.
  • Integrate vendor IP cores and develop custom modules for payload inspection and trigger detection.
  • Support bring-up, testing, and deployment in lab and production environments.
  • Write clear technical documentation and participate in design reviews.

Requirements:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in FPGA or ASIC development using VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, or HLS.
  • Strong understanding of RTL design, synthesis, timing constraints, and simulation.
  • Experience with Ethernet, TCP/IP, PCIe, DMA, and host interface protocols.
  • Familiarity with FPGA toolchains (Vivado, Quartus) and SmartNIC platforms (e.g., Nvidia Bluefield, Xilinx, Intel/Altera).
  • Knowledge of Layer 1 switching, high-speed transceivers, and signal integrity.

What We Look For:
  • Engineers who take ownership from concept to deployment.
  • A disciplined, scientific approach to problem-solving.
  • Collaboration across teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions.
  • Passion for performance, precision, and innovation.
