FPGA Design Engineer
Taara
About the team:
Taara focuses on delivering high-throughput and long-range connectivity via free-space optical communication (FSOC) links that use light (eye-safe lasers) propagating between two terminals to wirelessly transmit high speed data. Learn more about Taara.
About the role:
Taara is seeking to fill a FPGA designer position. The role is focused on design, simulation, implementation, testing, and verification of digital logic for high-data-rate communications systems and precision line-of-sight tracking systems running on system-on-Chip FPGA platforms. The position seeks highly-motivated individuals that enjoy working in a small dynamic team environment, with a passion for solving challenging problems that can lead to high-impact advances in technology.
How you will make 10x impact:
Collaborate across teams to jointly develop high-speed digital signal processing and control system algorithms supporting free-space optical communications applications.
Implement custom RTL modules that enable high data rate communications, as well as timing-sensitive feedback-based precision line-of-sight tracking systems.
Develop testbenches for RTL modules, perform simulation, and verify design requirements are met.
Integrate third party IP cores into an FPGA system, create custom RTL wrappers for third party cores, and interface with IP vendors.
Participate in board bring-up activities, system level integration tasks, troubleshooting, and field testing.
What you should have:
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering or similar discipline.
3+ years in FPGA/ Digital Logic Design role, with experience in implementing and testing custom RTL using SystemVerilog or Verilog.
Experience with FPGA design flow including simulation, synthesis, and static timing analysis.
Experience with FPGA high speed interfaces.
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
Strong communication and teamwork skills.
It would be great if you also had these:
MS (or higher) in Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Experience with Xilinx UltraScale/UltraScale+ FPGAs/SoCs, or equivalent.
Experience coding in embedded C/C++ (or similar) and common scripting languages (e.g. Python).
Experience implementing RTL blocks for high-speed communications, image processing and real-time tracking systems.
Experience with Simulink or High Level Synthesis.
