DESCRIPTION:
FPGA EngineerThe EndoSec FPGA Engineer is responsible for the design, development, testing, and maintenance of IP cores and FPGA-based systems used in hardware security applications.Key ResponsibilitiesFPGA Design and Development:
Design and develop IP cores and FPGA configurations implementing the latest in leakage-resilient hardware cryptography algorithms using state-of-the-art FPGA hardware.Modeling and Simulation:
Use simulation tools and verification frameworks to ensure mathematically-correct logic before hardware deployment.Hardware/Software Design:
Work closely with other engineers to integrate FPGA designs with application software and embedded systems. Implement embedded software-based testing solutions where applicable to validate FPGA designs.Performance Optimization:
Optimize FPGA designs for timing, resource utilization, and throughput. Identify and resolve system bottlenecks.Testing and Validation:
Create comprehensive test and verification plans for FPGA components, conduct unit and integration testing, and validate hardware performance against requirements in a remote environment.System Integration:
Ensure seamless integration between internally-developed and third-party IP cores, FPGA designs, and embedded systems. Collaborate with other engineers to develop and maintain system-level architecture.Troubleshooting and Debugging:
Utilize debugging tools and techniques to diagnose and resolve issues within FPGA designs and hardware platforms.Documentation:
Prepare detailed documentation, including design specifications, testing protocols, and user guides, to support system development and maintenance.Continuous Learning:
Actively stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in FPGA technology and hardware security to continually refine and enhance system capabilities.PM22
