• Experience with hardware design and Hardware Description Languages like SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL and Chisel
• Familiarity with hardware verification using formal verification environments or simulation based checking
• Synthesis of register transfer level code for FPGAs or standard cells
• Experience with Linux, Git and continuous integration

Additional Information:

Please note that relocation support is available for this role for domestic moves within the country and regional moves within Europe. Visa sponsorship support is also available for candidates who require it.

In Return:
