This is a fixed-term contract position for 12 months
About the team:
Project Taara focuses on delivering high-throughput and long-range connectivity via free-space optical communication (FSOC) links that use light (eye-safe lasers) propagating between two terminals to wirelessly transmit high speed data.
About the role:
Project Taara is seeking to fill a FPGA designer position. The role is focused on design, simulation, implementation, testing, and verification of digital logic for high-data-rate communications systems and precision line-of-sight tracking systems running on system-on-Chip FPGA platforms. The position seeks highly-motivated individuals that enjoy working in a small dynamic team environment, with a passion for solving challenging problems that can lead to high-impact advances in technology.
How you will make 10x impact:
- Collaborate across teams to jointly develop high-speed digital signal processing and control system algorithms supporting free-space optical communications applications.
- Implement custom RTL modules that enable high data rate communications, as well as timing-sensitive feedback-based precision line-of-sight tracking systems.
- Develop testbenches for RTL modules, perform simulation, and verify design requirements are met.
- Integrate third party IP cores into an FPGA system, create custom RTL wrappers for third party cores, and interface with IP vendors.
- Participate in board bring-up activities, system level integration tasks, troubleshooting, and field testing.
What you should have:
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering or similar discipline.
- 3+ years in FPGA/ Digital Logic Design role, with experience in implementing and testing custom RTL using SystemVerilog or Verilog.
- Experience with FPGA design flow including simulation, synthesis, and static timing analysis.
- Experience with FPGA high speed interfaces.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
It would be great if you also had these:
- MS (or higher) in Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience with Xilinx UltraScale/UltraScale+ FPGAs/SoCs, or equivalent.
- Experience coding in embedded C/C++ (or similar) and common scripting languages (e.g. Python).
- Experience implementing RTL blocks for high-speed communications, image processing and real-time tracking systems.
- Experience with Simulink or High Level Synthesis.
