1084: Senior FPGA Engineer

Senior FPGA Engineer to join one of our trading teams. While we have been leveraging FPGA technology for a number of years, you will have the opportunity to build an FPGA application from scratch for an existing team. Were seeking a candidate that has a strong understanding of software and hardware interaction. This person will participate in the full development lifecycle, including system and block level testing, of low latency high throughput FPGA design.
Responsibilities:

Architect and implement new FPGA applications (synthesis, place & route, static timing analysis, documentation) from the ground up

Research and evaluate a variety of cutting-edge FPGA hardware and technologies

Propose creative solutions to overcome FPGA/hardware limitations

Liaise directly with software and other design teams

Conduct lab debugging and characterization of new hardware

Requirements:

Bachelors degree or higher, Computer/Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of experience within the field; (Masters degree or higher also counts for experience)

Solid Hardware Engineering experience, especially with FPGA

Highly autonomous with a can-do attitude able to lead an FPGA based project from system requirements to production

Strong capacity to quickly evaluate FPGA based project feasibility based on hardware limitation

Strong skills in RTL logic design (Verilog) and verification; 2+ years of experience writing Verilog

Experience in FPGA design flow including synthesis, place & route , static timing analysis is required

Experience with the design of system-on-chip (SOC) architectures, memory & processor subsystems, networking, and peripheral interconnect is required

Knowledge of the TCP/IP stack

Strong working knowledge of either XILINX or ALTERA FPGA design flow

Experience with functional verification utilizing high-level methodologies (e.g. System Verilog) is a plus.

Excellent research and data gathering skills
