Job description

Join our Team

About this opportunity: You will join the FPGA CAD team to support design and verification teams which focuses on legacy, current, and next-generation Radio/RAN compute products within Ericsson. The new hire will play a critical role in strengthening Ericsson’s silicon strategy by supporting automation and FPGA CAD methodology to enhance the efficiency of a new site in Bangalore.

You will do:

• Develop, test, and deploy FPGA CAD tools and automation flows to support FPGA product development.
• Assist in defining design specifications, implementation strategies, CAD methodologies and debugging for FPGA tools and automation flows.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts for FPGA design and simulation flow and support engineers in resolving tool, environment, and runtime issues by engaging AE teams from suppliers.
• The automation scripts to include but not be limited to synthesis, place & route, bitstream generation, timing closure, QoR analysis and performance assessment – power estimation, timing analysis for design flow/ compile, elaboration, run, debug, regression and performance assessment — runtime, memory, licenses for simulation flow.
• Support FPGA design and verification engineers by automating the performance assessment of new tool versions and features.
• Build and maintain relationships with FPGA project teams to ensure alignment on goals and support timelines.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of products, tools, and processes.
• Follow and contribute to the team’s CAD guidelines, best practices, processes, and documentation standards.

You must have:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in Python software development.
• Strong understanding of Python idioms, data structures, and object-oriented design.
• Experience with automated testing (unit, integration) and TDD practices.
• Ability to understand, reuse existing code effectively and/or write reusable, modular, and well-documented code.
• Strong experience with scripting languages such as Tcl, Bash, Perl, etc
• Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.
• A problem-solving attitude, self-motivation, and eagerness to learn and contribute.
• Excellent English verbal and written communication skills.

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins.
• Familiarity with REST APIs.
• Experience with relational databases and SQL.
• Familiarity with FPGA/ASIC development, including ability to read and debug SystemVerilog/Verilog designs.
• Exposure/Hands-on with FPGA design and RTL simulation tools.
• Understanding of FPGA design/simulation flow and automation experience.
• Exposure with FPGA timing constraints (XDC/SDC), QoR analysis, and regression flows.
• Exposure with FPGA tools (Vivado, Quartus, Radiant)
• All academic credentials must be from recognized and accredited institutions and are further subject to verification.
