What are the responsibilities and job description for the FPGA Designer position at Technical-Link N. America?
Role Summary:
In this role, you’ll be tasked with assessing and improving Xilinx-based FPGA emulation of Iontra ASIC. You will review the current FPGA build environment, design constraints, and build/timing/utilization reports, and identify improvements and work with Design team to implement improvements to enable complete, accurate, functional, and stable builds on FPGA hardware.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Review current FPGA build environment, design constraints and implementation, and build/timing/utilization reports
- Update design constraints (XDC) to match ASIC design constraints (SDC). Clock frequency scaling as needed to appease FPGA limitations
- Identify FPGA build environment improvements
- Ensure FPGA design is following industry-standard best practices (clock and reset generation, Bidi buffer usage, etc)
- Assess viability of current FPGA hardware for the targeted RTL design
- Ensure FPGA can build, meet timing, and pass on-board testing
- Collaborate with RTL Design team, document work, and attend reoccurring status update meetings
- Use Git version control software daily
You’ll Need These Qualifications:
- Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or similar field
- Experience with setting up, constraining, optimizing and closing timing on high utilization designs.
- Experience with Xilinx and Vivado
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience with Git version control software
- Experience with Jira project workflow software
Salary : $80 - $100
