Description
Primary role:Design of high speed FPGA-based interfaces, including high-speed serial transceivers.
· Integration of top-level FPGA designs with software processes on hybrid SoC devices (e.g. Zynq).
· Implementation and test of SoC systems.
Key skills
You will be degree qualified with some post-graduate experience, preferably in communications and/or defence systems design, and will be able to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and experience in most of the following areas:
High-speed FPGA design using VHDL (Xilinx and/or Altera)
VHDL simulation using ModelSim
VHDL synthesis for FPGA
Video interface protocols (SDI, PAL, GigEVision, HDMI, VGA)
Control interface protocols (Ethernet, CAN, USB)
Embedded processors (NIOS/NIOS-II, MicroBlaze/PicoBlaze, Xilinx Zynq)
A working knowledge of one or more of the following areas would be an advantage:
Matlab
Software development
Video processing systems
Signal processing algorithms and architectures (FFT, filterbanks, multirate filtering)
Hardware/board design
The position requires a close working with the commercial and the engineering teams; consequently, the candidate must have the knowledge and the interpersonal skills to be able to fit into a very focussed group of people.
