Senior FPGA Platform Migration Engineer - Long term B2B / Freelancing opportunity

Empiric; Nice; Hybride; EUR 80 000 - 120 000; Temps partiel

Résumé du poste

Empiric is seeking a Senior FPGA Platform Migration Engineer to lead a major migration from Xilinx Zynq-7000 to Zynq UltraScale+ across the full prototyping flow.

Hybrid work in Nice, France on a 6 month rolling contract. You will own FPGA implementation, RTL integration, and platform constraints, coordinating hardware and software migration end-to-end.

This role requires autonomous problem solving, deep FPGA know-how, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure a seamless transition.

Qualifications

• Proven FPGA design, implementation, or ASIC/SoC prototyping experience.
• Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog and RTL integration skills.
• Experience with TCL, Python, and shell scripting.
• Knowledge of Xilinx Zynq PS, PetaLinux, BSP generation, and device trees.

Responsabilités

• Migrate FPGA prototyping platform from Zynq-7000 to Zynq UltraScale+.
• Ensure hardware, software, and implementation flow work on new architecture.
• Collaborate on platform requirements and evaluation matrices.
• Address DDR/PCIe/Ethernet/clock/power/high-speed interfaces constraints.

Senior FPGA Platform Migration Engineer - Long term B2B / Freelancing opportunity

Amazing opportunity to join a leading global semiconductor company as a senior FPGA Engineer to take ownership of a major next-generation FPGA prototyping migration. You'll be responsible for moving a large-scale ASIC/SoC prototyping platform from an existing Xilinx Zynq-7000 architecture onto the newer Zynq UltraScale+ platform making the hardware, software and entire implementation flow work seamlessly on the new architecture.

Contract: 6 month rolling

Location: Hybrid (Nice, France)

To be successful in this role you must have proven expertise in FPGA design, FPGA implementation, or FPGA-based ASIC/SoC prototyping.

Key Skills / Responsibilities

• Strong hands-on experience with AMD/Xilinx FPGA implementation flows, including synthesis, constraints, place-and-route, timing analysis, and debugging
• Expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog and RTL integration
• Experience with scripting and automation using TCL, Python, and/or Shell
• Defining platform architecture, platform requirements, or technical evaluation matrices.
• Understanding of FPGA board-level constraints such as DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, clocks, reset, power, and high-speed interfaces.
• Ability to work autonomously, analyse complex technical issues, and propose pragmatic solutions.
• Experience with Xilinx PS (Processing System), PetaLinux, BSP generation, device tree adaptation, boot chain configuration, and software migration between Zynq families.
