FPGA Engineer
Overview
We are looking for an FPGA Engineer in our Munich office to support FPGA-based prototyping, hardware bring-up, and lab integration for Quintauris platforms. You will work hands-on with FPGA boards and measurement equipment, bridging digital design with real hardware environments. The ideal candidate has strong experience with Xilinx UltraScale/UltraScale+ FPGAs, complemented by PCB/module design or lab bring-up experience.
Specific Skills
- Hands-on and detail-oriented problem solver
- Independent and reliable in managing prototyping tasks end-to-end
- Strong communication for collaboration with architects and cross-functional teams
- Focus on automation, reproducibility, and maintainable design flows
Responsible For
- FPGA Prototyping: Implement and integrate CPU cores, subsystems, and peripherals on large FPGA devices.
- Lab Bring-Up: Perform hands-on FPGA bring-up, signal probing, and measurement in the lab.
- PCB/Module Design: Contribute to the design and validation of FPGA carrier modules and adapter boards.
- Board Bring-Up: Perform synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and FPGA board-level bring-up.
- System Integration: Connect CPUs, memory systems, and peripheral IP into complete prototyping platforms.
- Tool Flows & Automation: Develop and maintain build scripts, automation flows, and FPGA tool configurations.
- Debug & Validation: Debug FPGA prototypes using simulation, hardware probes, and CPU debug/trace tools.
- Collaboration: Work with verification, CPU, and software teams to enable hardware/software co-development.
- Documentation: Maintain reproducible design flows, build instructions, and prototyping guidelines.
- Scaling: Support migration of prototypes across different FPGA boards, including larger prototyping platforms.
Additional Requirements
- Experience: 5+ years in FPGA design, prototyping, or RTL integration.
- Large FPGAs: Proven experience with high-capacity FPGA devices and timing closure on complex designs.
- Technical Expertise: Strong skills in Verilog/SystemVerilog and FPGA flows (Vivado, Quartus, or equivalent).
- Scripting: Excellent scripting skills (Python, TCL, Make, Bash) for automation and reproducible flows.
- Board Knowledge: Hands-on experience with FPGA boards and subsystems (DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, etc.).
- Debugging: Familiarity with FPGA debug tools (Chipscope, SignalTap, JTAG probes).
- Desired: Experience with Synopsys HAPS prototyping systems.
- Plus: Experience with CPU debug and trace tools; knowledge of RISC-V CPU prototyping.
