We are looking for a Senior FPGA Engineer to architect, design, implement, and verify FPGA RTL for our optical interconnect development.
The work centres on high-speed digital logic, video processing and framing, high-speed serial interfaces, and the on-chip logic that connects our electronics to optical devices.
You will work closely with the electronics, RF, and photonics engineers who design the surrounding hardware and optical interfaces.
Architect, design, implement, and verify FPGA RTL for high-speed digital, video, and optical-interfacing systems.
Develop FPGA designs in VHDL or Verilog/System Verilog, including high-speed serial interfaces, video processing, framing, and on-chip instrumentation.
Bring up and configure high-speed serial transceivers and clock-data recovery, and implement line coding, pattern generation, and error-rate instrumentation.
Design digital video interfaces and the associated framing, timing, and data-handling logic.
Author and maintain RTL documentation, verification evidence, and coding standards, and contribute to design reviews.
Collaborate across electronics, RF, photonics, and systems engineering, and support the path from prototype to product.
Degree (BEng/MEng) or Ph D in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field, with substantial relevant experience at senior level.
High-speed serial transceiver and clock-data-recovery bring-up, and serial protocols such as line coding and PRBS.
Sound clock-domain-crossing and high-speed digital design discipline.
Digital video interfacing (for example HDMI) or comparable high-bandwidth digital protocols.
Electronic interfacing to optical or other sensor/transducer devices.
