Robotics Hardware Acceleration Engineer (FPGA)

We are seeking a skilled Hardware Acceleration Engineer with a focus on FPGAs to accelerate robotic computations. You will work on designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA-based solutions to speed up tasks like perception, motion planning, and control within robotic systems, particularly using ROS 2. Key Responsibilities: Design and implement hardware accelerators using VHDL/Verilog for FPGAs (Xilinx preferred). Integrate FPGA designs with robotic software frameworks, particularly ROS 2. Develop high-level synthesis (HLS) designs to accelerate C/C++ code on FPGAs. Perform simulation, testing, and validation of FPGA designs. Collaborate with software engineers to define interfaces and optimize system performance. Stay updated with the latest FPGA technologies and tools. Location: Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country (Spain) - Hybrid work.

Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Minimum 3 years of experience in FPGA design and development (VHDL/Verilog). Experience with FPGA development tools (e.g., Xilinx Vivado/Vitis). Strong understanding of digital design principles and computer architecture. Experience with hardware/software co-design. Good programming skills in C/C++. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with High-Level Synthesis (HLS). Knowledge of robotics concepts and ROS/ROS 2. Experience with SoC FPGAs (e.g., Zynq UltraScale+). Familiarity with Linux and embedded systems development. Experience with verification methodologies (e.g., UVM).
