Job description

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. 5 years of relevant design experience with PCI interfaces & Design of interface blocks for serial busses: JTAG, SPI and I2C Firmware design tools such as Verilog and the FPGA vendor tools for place and route. Experience with FPGA controlling board functions with Programmable Power Supplies, Pin Electronics, ADCs, and other functional blocks

Responsibilities:

Develop a portion of the Test Controller firmware as shown below. Design the PCIe interface section. Design interface blocks for various serial buses: JTAG, SPI and I2C Design the DRAM controllers Design the bus interface block which will be used to communicate with internal FPGA blocks as well as blocks controlling the board functions such as the Programmable Power Supplies, Pin Electronics, ADCs, and other functional blocks in the channel module. Make sure these blocks are functional via simulation initially and then on the hardware when available. Work with the hardware design team and the software team to assist bring-up and driver development. Maintain and update relevant documentation and records as required.
