Job description

Imagine being part of a team that's redefining the future of mobility—where your ideas don't just sit in a lab but power next-generation technology. At indie, we are developing cutting-edge semiconductors, photonics, and radar sensors and systems for automotive, industrial, and adjacent markets. Our innovations are at the heart of advanced intelligent sensing and user experience applications, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

If you're passionate about groundbreaking technology and want to make a real impact alongside a fast-paced team that thrives on creativity and collaboration, we'd love to have you on board!

Job Overview

In this role, you will join a talented engineering team responsible for the design, implementation, and verification of advanced SoCs targeting automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). You will play a key role in pre-silicon platform engineering, driving activities such as rapid FPGA prototyping, digital IP integration and benchmarking, and hardware/software partitioning.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and document RTL for digital IP blocks based on agreed specifications.
• Support RTL and gate-level verification, including debugging, bug tracking, and coverage closure.
• Contribute to design reviews and functional safety activities.
• Integrate pre-existing IPs into high-scale FPGA platforms, including the development of SoC-friendly glue logic and clocking schemes.
• Deliver FPGA prototyping platforms to enable pre-silicon firmware development.
• Collaborate with firmware and system teams on hardware/software partitioning and system-level integration.
• Perform benchmarking of FPGA-based data path IPs against custom silicon implementations.
• Support silicon validation and bring-up.

Job Requirements

The ideal candidate brings the following experience and skills. We recognize that no candidate will meet every requirement perfectly, and we value individuals who are eager to learn and grow.

• MS degree in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of FPGA experience.
• Proven experience designing and simulating digital blocks using Verilog.
• Solid understanding of FPGA design flows and board platforms, including synthesis, place and route, and static timing analysis (STA). Experience with AMD/Xilinx Vivado and UltraScale+ devices is a plus.
• Experience with AMBA buses (APB, AHB, AXI) and communication protocols (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet) is a plus.
• Experience with C and Python programming languages. Experience with Tcl is a plus.
• Experience with version control systems such as Git and SVN. Experience with Continuous Integration (CI) is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.
• Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with local and remote international teams.
• Hands-on experience working in Linux-based development environments is highly valued.
