Senior FPGA Engineer (VHDL/Verilog)

Job Title

Senior FPGA Engineer (VHDL/Verilog)

Role Summary

Design and optimize VHDL/Verilog implementations for networking hardware (SmartNICs, hybrid optical switches). Verify designs via simulation in a Python-based environment, integrate IP cores into FPGA projects, perform timing analysis and on-target verification, and support system-level performance testing and debugging with software and networking teams.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The posting designates this as a senior role; no explicit years-of-experience requirement provided.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Design and optimize FPGA logic using VHDL and/or Verilog.
• Create and run simulation test cases and scenarios within a Python simulation environment.
• Integrate IP cores and modules into FPGA projects and build flows.
• Perform timing analysis, achieve timing closure, and execute on-target verification.
• Participate in system-level performance testing and debug fixes with software and networking teams.
• Support test automation and continuous integration efforts.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Strong expertise in VHDL and Verilog development.
• Programming skills in Tcl and Python.
• Experience with timing analysis and timing closure.
• Experience with unit simulation testing and test automation (e.g., Jenkins).
• Familiarity with Linux development environments.
• Understanding of networking concepts: Ethernet, TCP/IP, MAC addressing, buffering.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills; eagerness to learn new technologies.
• Working mode: hybrid; consultants should be based near the client's premises.

Education Requirements

Master's degree in electronics engineering or a similar field, or equivalent practical experience.
