Job description

As a Senior FPGA Engineer, you will contribute to the development of key components within advanced networking systems, including SmartNICs and hybrid optical switches. You will be responsible for designing and optimizing VHDL and/or Verilog implementations, followed by verifying your designs through simulation using Python-based test cases and scenarios. You will integrate your designs and IP cores into FPGA projects, perform timing analysis, and conduct on-target verification. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with software and networking teams on system-level performance testing and debugging.

Requirements

Must-have

  • Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering or equivalent experience
  • Strong knowledge of VHDL and Verilog
  • Programming skills in Tcl and Python
  • Experience with timing analysis and closure
  • Experience with unit simulation testing and test automation (e.g., Jenkins)
  • Comfortable working in a Linux environment
  • Understanding of networking concepts (Ethernet, TCP/IP, MAC addressing, buffering, etc.)
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging abilities
  • Eagerness to learn and work with new, cutting-edge technologies

Nice-to-have

  • Familiarity with Xilinx FPGA tools and QuestaSim/ModelSim
  • Experience with Cocotb verification environments
  • Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (DDR4, Ethernet, PCIe, AXI4, AXI-Lite)

Benefits & conditions

What You’ll Gain

  • The opportunity to work on innovative, high-performance networking solutions that advance modern network architectures
  • A dynamic, forward-thinking environment that encourages innovation in networking technologies
  • Opportunities for professional growth in FPGA development, networking, and simulation

If you are passionate about advanced networking technologies and modern architectural design, we encourage you to apply and develop your career in this exciting domain.
