Senior FPGA Design Engineer

Firmware Engineer

My client is a technology leader delivering high-performance fabrics for High Performance Computing (HPC), High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the purpose of delivering interconnect solutions that enable their customers to optimally apply vast computational resources to solve the worlds toughest problems.

My client is hiring talented firmware engineers to facilitate the delivery of the next generation High Performance Computing (HPC) fabric products. They are seeking engineers who have developed software for the embedded environment using C and C++. Primary responsibilities of this position will be design and development of embedded firmware for their high performance switches.

Key tasks include:

• Support the parallel development and validation of high-performance computing ASICs through the targeting of the ASICs IP/RTL to an FPGA-based acceleration platform.
• Replace ASIC-specific IP that cannot be targeted to an FPGA, with FPGA-specific IP for the same purpose, by developing integration (shim) wrappers that closely model the ASIC IP.
• Support the parallel verification of the ASIC RTL by supplementing the verification environments created for silicon validation.
• Provide support for firmware and software development on the FPGA platform by working with cross-functional teams to implement and debug the combined software and hardware solution.

• B.S. or M.S. degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering
• Experience in digital design with one or more HDL languages that must include either System Verilog or Verilog.
• Proficient in one or more scripting languages (TCL, Python, Perl)
• Deep understanding of FPGA development flows including digital design, IP integration, simulation and synthesis.
• 5+ years of FPGA development experience.

They offer stock like a startup but have actually been in the high-performance computing market for a couple of decades.
