We’re selecting an HW design engineer with university skills and professional experience in FPGA design including component selection and RTL coding/simulation. Key role of the FPGA design engineer is to work in a global environment to design, validate and bring to production complex and dense electronic blades with high-speed signals and complex ASICS / Optical Components.

Mandatory Experience during the university courses and professional experience on RTL code development (VERILOG/VHDL) for FPGA and complex programmable design.

In addition the FPGA design Engineer play a key role supporting the product during the entire life cycle providing code fixes to address issues impacting manufacturing / customers or supporting feature enhancement as well as possible redesign on newer FPGA chips for cost reduction activities.

• FPGA and SoC specification
• RTL code design (VERILOG / VHDL), Verification and simulations
• Database management with configuration control standard tools
• Lab feature testing and integration with SW
• Bug tracking and fixing

Job role requires onsite presence (Hybrid job but with presence on site 90% of the time) requiring presence in lab for HW design development and test

• Master’s degree in computer engineering or Electrical Engineering or Telecommunication or Physics with 1+year of experience in electronic laboratories of structured companies
• FPGA device selection, specification, pinout definition and support to schematic entry. RTL design, coding, simulation, and test in laboratory
• Synthesis, implementation, and timing analysis.
• SoC / CPLD / FPGA design with high level languages (RTL)

• Knowledge of FPGA design and implementation processes, verification emulation/debugging methodologies and tools in the Telecom/networking area is a plus
• Coordination of FPGA development with Cisco INDIA and STO (Cisco security and trust) central teams or similar skill
• Knowledge of Xilinx, Altera and Microchip technologies
• Excellent teamwork attitude, able to work in multicultural teams, fluent written and oral English language
• Self-motivated, and highly autonomous with ability to manage multiple tasks
• Creative problem-solving skills and excellent troubleshooting/debugging skills
• Data communications or telecommunications and knowledge of major peripheral devices (Ram, Flash, UART, Ethernet Controller, Multiport Ram) is a plus
