FPGA Design Engineer

As an FPGA Design Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing a mission-critical communication system for Canada's next-generation fleet of protection vessels. Your work will ensure these ships maintain secure and reliable communications under any conditions. You will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary design team to design, develop, simulate, and integrate complex FPGA solutions tailored to specific project requirements.

Responsibilities

• Create FPGA models by transforming RTL designs using synthesis, partitioning, and routing tools.
• Develop, integrate, test, and debug hardware and software in both simulation and FPGA environments.
• Write tests, develop test environments, and support the verification of hardware, software, and firmware.
• Develop and use automation tools, flows, and scripts to enhance FPGA utilization.
• Utilize FPGA design tools to fit designs, close timing, and improve fitting quality.
• Contribute ideas to advance FPGA development processes.
• Design, implement, integrate, and test digital systems with a focus on FPGA technology.
• Create Verilog, VHDL, HDL, and graphical designs for FPGAs.
• Integrate manufacturer IP FPGA cores, such as processors, ADCs, and DACs, into custom firmware architectures.
• Design and validate testbench routines for simulating FPGA designs and sub-designs.
• Integrate firmware with target hardware, ensuring compatibility with system components and software.
• Generate timing constraints for IP blocks and perform Static Timing Analysis.

• 7+ years of FPGA design experience and capable of performing FPGA verification, UVM is a strong asset.
• Experience using AXI protocol, particularly in high-speed communication.
• Experience working on UltraScale devices, ideally Zynq.
• Must be eligible for Secret clearance.

• Bonus points for knowledge of digital audio signal processing.
• Bachelors degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with design isolation is an asset.
• Understanding of Static Timing Analysis and Timing Closure techniques.
• FPGA project documentation knowledge, such as Block Diagram and FSM Design, is an asset.
• Knowledge of UVM functional simulation.
• Knowledge of MPSoC devices.
• Design, build, and test scripting experience using TCL and Python.
• Experience with hardware debugging tools like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and JTAG.
• Experience with GIT pipelines is an asset.

This position requires on-site work within a small team of four members, comprising both FPGA and embedded professionals. You will be part of an exciting long-term project, contributing to Canada's largest defence program. Enjoy the benefits of permanent employment as a contractor, including paid time off, comprehensive benefits, and a competitive hourly rate.
