FPGA Engineer

The 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 Responsibilities

• FPGA 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.
