Hardware Engineer (FPGA/ASIC)
Role Summary
Design and implement FPGA and ASIC applications and improve the RTL design, testing, and validation toolchain. Work on hardware projects using a software-oriented workflow that emphasizes high-level hardware construction and reliable test/integration practices.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Specific years of experience are not stated; candidates should have prior FPGA or ASIC project experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include developing hardware designs and the tools that support design and verification.
- Design and implement new FPGA and ASIC applications from specification through integration.
- Develop and extend high-level RTL construction and testing tools (Hardcaml/OCaml based workflows).
- Write and review RTL (Verilog, VHDL) and integration code; work with C where required.
- Integrate and validate designs using vendor toolflows (synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure).
- Improve automation, verification infrastructure, and testing processes for hardware projects.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver and deploy hardware systems.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- Experience with a hardware description or construction language (VHDL, Verilog, Chisel, Pymtl, or similar) for both design and testing.
