FPGA Engineer

At Oriole Networks, we are developing disruptive technologies for AI/ML and HPC networking that will revolutionise Data Centers. These technologies will speed up training and inference while dramatically reducing energy consumption for a sustainable future.

We are looking for an experienced FPGA Engineer to work within our existing team to develop high-speed network interfaces between xPUs and our proprietary network. The successful candidate will deliver scale-up and scale-out xPU interface solutions, working iteratively through a series of prototypes to ultimately deliver a production-grade solutions. Responsibilities will include microarchitecture definition, implementation, and testing, as well as interfacing with software.

Responsibilities:

• Microarchitecture definition in collaboration with the broader team

• Preparing detailed technical documentation and presentations to stakeholders

• RTL Implementation, synthesis, timing closure

• Unit verification planning and simulation testing using SystemVerilog

• Delivering and validating FPGA-based lab setups for customer trials
  

Skills & Experience:

• Extensive hands-on industry experience of FPGA design for GPU/CPU interfacing and networking at 100Gbps and above

• Experience of many of the following: UALink, NVLink, PCIe, RDMA, CXL

• Comprehensive understanding of clock domain crossing techniques

• Strong knowledge of FPGA tool flows (synthesis, partitioning, place&route, timing analysis)

• Excellent skills in SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL

• Scripting and automation, such as TCL and Python

• Experience using Questa, VCS

• Experience using Quartus/Vivado/Vitis

• Experience in host software interfaces and device drivers

• Experience with embedded systems, including soft processors (Microblaze/Nios/RISC V) and SoC programming

• Experience with high-performance FPGA devices: Xilinx Versal Premium or Intel Agilex 7

• A humble attitude and good communication skills

• Bachelor or Master degree in electronics engineering, physics, or other relevant fields or experience within the industry;
