Job Description: Experienced FPGA Engineer
We are looking for an excellent Hardware/Firmware engineer with proven experience in developing FPGAs, to be part of an excellent FPGA team in the R&D Hardware department and develop cutting edge technology FPGAs in a multidisciplinary system for our machines
What’s in it for you?
As an FGPA engineer, you will implement this cutting-edge technology on a daily basis and enjoy the fact that it relates in some way to almost every important field in Applied Materials: control, algorithms, and machine learning. You will experience and present modular architectural approaches to FPGA applications with a high emphasis on testability.
Our Group:
The FPGA group designs, implements, and integrates applications from low end to high end in every aspect needed, from complex digitizers with high speed, low noise, accurate controllers, high end synchronizers to our machines, High speed/end frame grabbers to algorithm enhancement for different applications in our tools. The FPGA teams works along with verification methodology; hence, designers get a vast experience in working aside with verification engineers to bring faster, professional solution to the project, while focusing on architecture and testability.
What you'll be doing:
- Understand the existing FPGA architecture and interactions between the various modules comprising the system.
- Conceive, experiment with, and present modular architectural approaches for FPGA applications with high emphasis on testability.
- Work closely with software, hardware, system teams, providing documentation, debug support, technical expertise, and software interfaces
- Develop RTL code for additional functionality and capabilities. Perform logic synthesis, timing analysis and timing closure.
- Develop test bench and simulation tools to verify correct logical functionality.
- Understand schematics, performing lab test on designs and components, troubleshooting, and improving building block modules.
What you should have?
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related area
- Over 5 years of experience designing FPGA in VHDL or Verilog.
- Practical knowledge of RTL design, synthesis, timing closure, simulation, and verification test benches
- Hardware bring up and debug experience desired
- Expertise in FPGA from Xilinx/Intel (Altera) families.
- Familiarity with high level programming languages f.e C/C++, System Verilog, High Level Synthesis, Scripts (TCL, Python) – big advantage
- Familiarity with AXI methodology
- Familiarity working with verification engineers using UVM environment
- Ability to work in a team and take input from other members in coordinating work
- Ability to prioritize work assignments and react to a dynamic work environment
- A strong analytical and problem solver abilities with excellent verbal and written communication skills
