Digital Design Engineer

Athari • Lexington, MA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

This role involves designing, testing, and debugging digital logic for FPGA architectures, with a focus on System on Chip (SoC) designs. The engineer will integrate programmable logic with on-chip software processing, perform unit-level and chip-level verification, and conduct laboratory testing of FPGA designs. Experience with high-speed I/O interfaces, signal processing applications, and strong communication skills are essential.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related scientific/engineering field
• Strong knowledge of hardware description languages including VHDL, Verilog, and/or System Verilog
• Experience designing and testing programmable logic designs targeting System on Chip (SoC) FPGA architectures that required integration of the programmable logic with on-chip software processing
• Experience with unit-level and FPGA chip level verification of RTL
• Experience with laboratory benchtop testing of FPGA designs including the use of integrated logic analyzers (e.g. ChipScope) and/or laboratory equipment such as stand-alone logic analyzers or digital oscilloscopes
• Experience designing, testing, and debugging high-speed I/O interfaces and protocols utilizing an FPGA’s built-in SERDES
• Experiencing developing, designing, and programmable logic for signal processing applications
• Strong verbal and written communications skills

Nice To Haves

• Experience developing and testing with Xilinx-based RFSoC devices
• Experience using Modelsim/Questa/CocoTB toolchain for RTL simulation
• Familiarity with continuous integration (CI) pipelines for joint FPGA and embedded software development
• Familiarity with Ethernet, Infiniband, and/or PCIe protocols, testing, tools, and debugging
• Familiarity with RDMA and RoCE protocols
• Experience programming in Python

Responsibilities
