Akribis Systems – FPGA Engineer

The FPGA is used to interface all the products external and internal signals: encoders (of variety of types), analog signals, digital I/O, servo amplifiers, communications, and so on. Some of our products are with FPGA only (without a CPU) and there the FPGA is the core of the product.

In the FPGA we develop interfaces, algorithms, dedicated communication (our patent), timing, error detection, and so on.

We are looking for an FPGA engineer that is experienced with VHDL programming and all involved concepts and methods, as well as an understanding of HW design and hopefully also embedded FW design, to be able to see the full "picture" of our products.

The job involves :

• Design and implementation of algorithms in various FPGA development environments.
• Design test and verification methods and capabilities for FPGA and SOCs.
• Tight interface with CPU and with HW.
• Close collaboration with fellow FPGA and other engineers in order to develop, debug and test a product according to requirements.Working directly with customers to define requirements and resolve problems.

Qualifications

• Candidate must possess at least Bachelor's Degree / Master's Degree and/or equivalent, preferrably in Electrical Engineering and/or any other relevant course of study.

• Dealt with applications project, delivery to customers, facing with customer and deadline pressure.

• Ability to apply critical thinking to solve a vast spectrum of potential issues.

• Preferably with 3 Year(s) of working experience in [trade/industry, i.e. Motion Controls, High precision, Semiconductor, Machine building, Manufacturing] and/or any other related field/industry is required for this position.
