FPGA Design Engineer

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced FPGA Design Engineer to join Istra’s hardware group. The role undertakes end-to-end responsibility in system, architecture, design, implementation and testing of various hardware systems (FPGA based). The individual should have strong analytical and design capabilities as well as hands-on experience in all aspects of hardware and FPGA development.

In this role, you will:

• Design and implement complex FPGA-based systems for ultra low latency applications
• Characterize system requirements and specs including SW-HW API
• Debug production issues using systematic approach to narrow down problems to specific HW / SW domain
• Characterize and implement HW debug and development infrastructures
• Research optimal P&R strategies and implementation approaches to minimize latency without compromising on utilization and timing closure
  
  

• BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering from a well known academic institute (Cum Laude).
• At least 5 years experience in FPGA/VLSI development.
• Proficient in HDL (Verilog / System Verilog / VHDL) language.
• Familiar with all stages in FPGA build flow, including architecture, design, simulations, synthesis, place and route and timing closure.
• Experience in hardware timing closure optimizations.
• Lab debugging and troubleshooting skills.
• Experience in FPGA development for Xilinx devices - advantage
• Software skills in C/C++ - advantage.
• Scripting skills in Python / R / Tcl - advantage.
• Self sufficient with a can-do attitude.
• Team player with excellent communication skills.
