Job Description: Chipright FPGA Design engineer
Chipright seeks two highly motivated and experienced FPGA digital designers to work on a medical IP application for a key customer. The role is initially to review and re-architect an old design, creating a clear RTL design specification that will interoperate with a SW specification that is being designed by a different team. An understanding of the system level requirements for the overall application will be required in order to develop the block level design for the FPGA solution. The role will involve RTL coding in Verilog and bring up on the IP in a lab environment. 

The role will involve interaction on site with the customer’s engineers but the project can be worked on remotely by the engineers. 
This is a fantastic opportunity for talented engineers to work within a team of highly experienced engineers.

Requirements

 	
5+ years experience coding in VHDL / Verilog 
 	
Ethernet experience essential for this role 
 	
Block level and SoC level design and simulation 
 	
Ability to develop designs from specification right through to FPGA Emulation 
 	
Proficient with FPGA tool kits - Preferably Altera Quatus tool set with Stratix or Arria FPGA's  
 	
Proficient in FPGA bring up and debug of the device by working both individually and as part of a team 
 	
Ability to develop scripts with Tcl / Perl 
 	
Proficient with front end RTL design and simulation tools (Questa, NCSim, VCS) 
 	
An understanding of leading edge verification solutions
 	
Educated to degree level with excellent analytical, communication and documentation skills 
 	
A ‘can do’ attitude for attempting to tackle problems that solutions need to be designed for  
 	
Flexibility to travel

Desirable

 	
Knowledge of  Medical applications and protocols  
 	
Firmware debug 
 	
Knowledge of Advanced Verification Environments
 	
Knowledge of SystemVerilog 
 	
Knowledge of StratixV or Arria10 Ethernet IP solutions & design bringup
