What you'll need:
  • A Bachelor's degree in CE, EE, CS, or related technical field.
  • Experience designing, coding, testing, and verifying FPGAs and/or ASICs.
  • Experience coding in VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog as well as C or C++.
  • Experience with RTL synthesis, writing timing, area, and other relevant constraints.
  • Experience with digital simulators and self-checking test benches.
  • Experience supporting post-silicon bring-up and debugging a plus.
  • Ability to work closely with software developers to rapidly deliver integrated systems.
What you'll get:
  • Work alongside best-in-class professionals from over 40 different countries.
  • Performance based bonus structure that is unmatched anywhere in the industry. We combine our profits across desks, teams and offices into a global profit pool fostering a truly collaborative environment to work in.
