Contexte et atouts du poste

The TARAN team at Inria and the University of Rennes is looking for passionate and motivated Digital Design Engineers seeking to make an impact in the fields of computer architecture and AI hardware accelerators. The right candidate will not be afraid to attack complex problems and assume broad ownership, ranging from chip or block architecture and programming models through RTL implementation, design verification, physical design, and DFT.

Are you an experienced or young engineer interested in hardware design and looking for an exciting opportunity to advance your career? Join our team, where we design and verify hardware prototypes of processors and AI accelerators to support our research. We are seeking a creative and skilled colleague to help develop chips (ASICs) or FPGA prototypes. Are you looking for broader exposure across multiple IP designs? Do you want the opportunity to work globally within a recognized research team to deliver innovative systems? Join us to help shape the future of our research!

Mission confiée

As an FPGA hardware design engineer, you will design and develop complex digital systems using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for different hardware prototypes. Your goal will be to achieve maximum efficiency in power consumption, performance, and area while ensuring correct functional behavior. Your key responsibilities will include participating in the whole design flow:

• Participating in defining the microarchitecture.
• Developing system-level RTL code using System Verilog or VHDL.
• Running design checks and identifying and fixing bugs.
• Physical design (placement and routing) of the chip using the latest industrial methodologies and tools.
• Back-end design and verification.

Collaboration with researchers and engineers across the architecture, verification, performance analysis, power analysis, implementation, and various IP functions is essential to achieve success in our projects.

Principales activités

• Define FPGA architecture and develop synthesizable RTL (VHDL or SV) for:
  • Communication protocols (e.g., USB).
  • Memory controllers.
  • AI accelerators such as systolic arrays.
  • Specific optimized arithmetic functions.
  • Fixedpoint digital signal processing as needed for filtering, estimation, or modulation.
  • Partition functions between FPGA, MCU/DSP, and other devices considering performance.
  • Select appropriate FPGA families and IP for timingcritical and safetyrelated functions.
• Develop testbenches and simulations to verify your designs.
• Perform static timing analysis and timing closure for:
  • Tight realtime constraints.
  • Multiple clock domains and asynchronous interfaces.
• Support lab and field testing:
  • Board bringup and system integration.
  • Debugging under real operating conditions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, current/voltage probes, and protocol analyzers.
• Create and maintain documentation:
  • FPGA specifications, timing budgets, and interface definitions.
  • Verification plans, test reports, and release notes.
• Support production and field updates (JTAG, insystem programming, secure and failsafe update mechanisms).

The position is for a one-year term, but it may be extended for up to 2 years.
