- Leads the full cycle FPGA/SoC design, integrate internal and vendor FPGA IPs, and author HDL code modules and test benches.
- Authors code elements for embedded Linux systems for kernel, u-boot, and drivers
- Develops and enhances platforms including hardware/software integration, debug, board support package generation
- Creates scripts to automate code generating tools, data processing, and verification of design
- Works with other functional team members to integrate technologies with company platforms and products
- Researches, develops, and demonstrates new technologies as they apply to AV products
- Keeps abreast of new technologies, the state of the art, and communicate to the appropriate levels
- Provides guidance and mentoring to lower level engineers.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
- Experience in computer or electrical engineering.
- The desire and energy to explore various technologies and demonstrate how they could be pertinent to our products
- Ability to integrate technologies to provide proof of concept demonstrations
- Experience with FPGA development tools such as Modelsim, Vivado, Quartus
- Understanding of FPGA/SoC internals
