  • Brilliant design, optimization, debugging and problem solving skills
  • Professional experience (2 years) in RTL design for FPGA or ASIC
  • Expert SystemVerilog development skills with a thorough understanding of the language
  • Expert on low level FPGA or ASIC architectures, with a deep understanding of what makes them "tick"
  • Skilled in network communications, processing pipelines, and/or machine learning
  • Working knowledge of Python and/or C
  • Comfortable in a Linux environment
  • Strong verification experience
  • Familiarity with AMD Vivado is a plus
  • A bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field
