As a Firmware / FPGA Engineer you will be responsible for:
Hardware requirements capture and firmware design.
Work as part of a team to meet milestones for on-time delivery.
FPGA design/development, analysis and integration.
Production of material for design reviews.
Development of test planning, integration and design verification.
Ensure that all firmware designs follow the company firmware process.
Requirements
You will, ideally have experience in the following areas:
Degree (BSc, BEng, MEng, MSc, PhD, EngD) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (preferable) or related science (e.g. Physics or Computer science).
Ability to design RTL using VHDL is essential, knowledge of Verilog an advantage but not essential.
Implementing high speed, multi-frequency clocking architectures
Design with FPGA technologies from either AMD(Xilinx), Intel (Altera) or Microsemi (Actel).
Use of Xilinx Vivado or Altera Quartus II / Quartus Prime is an advantage
Experience of FPGA architectures such as SoC system-on-chip (e.g. Xilinx Versal) an advantage.
Experience in the use of Vendor IP e.g. Ethernet, Gigabit-transceivers, DDR interfaces etc.
Knowledge of Version management using Subversion, GIT or CVS
Specifying timing and area constraints for efficient FPGA place and route.
Familiarity with Mentor Graphics FPGA development tools including HDL Designer and ModelSim / Questa is an advantage but not vital.
A methodical approach to the full firmware design lifecycle, working to a structured firmware process such as RTCA DO-254 or similar.
De-bugging firmware designs, supporting verification and integration at hardware and system level alongside Software and Electronic Engineers. Verification techniques (test-benching) using VHDL.
Use of Integrated Logic Analysers (ILAs) from the firmware design tools.
Whilst not vital, any of the following would be advantageous:
Knowledge of hardware communication protocols (Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, etc.)
Knowledge of C, C++, MATLAB, or LabVIEW
