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.
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
- mentor graphics
- Software development
- Actelexperiance
- 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.
