Join a global technology leader driving the next generation of wireless and computing innovation.
Based in Cork, this position sits within an elite engineering group developing high-performance FPGA firmware and embedded systems for advanced infrastructure and connectivity solutions.
You will be a key contributor to the design, development, and deployment of custom emulation hardware, working across cutting-edge tools and technologies.
This is a hands-on technical role with opportunities to mentor others and influence future engineering flows, methodologies, and design automation practices.
Key Responsibilities
Architect, design, and implement FPGA-based firmware for advanced emulation and prototyping platforms.
Develop and optimize RTL and embedded software for performance, scalability, and robustness.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to translate system-level requirements into efficient hardware and firmware solutions.
Lead and guide junior engineers, supporting continuous improvement in tools, workflows, and technical excellence.
Contribute to design reviews, debug sessions, and hardware bring-up activities to ensure high-quality delivery.
Qualifications
Master's or PhD in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
8+ years of professional FPGA or firmware development experience.
Proven expertise in clock domain crossing, timing closure, and high-speed design methodologies.
Familiarity with ARM-based architectures, Embedded Linux, and Linux device driver development.
Programming experience in C++ and Python for system integration and automation.
Working knowledge of interfaces and protocols such as AXI, PCIe, I2C, LVDS, and Ethernet.
Understanding of software engineering principles, Agile practices, and version control (Git, JIRA).
Strong proficiency with SystemVerilog and hands-on experience using Xilinx (Ultrascale/Ultrascale+, MPSoC) or Intel (Stratix) FPGA toolchains.
Solid analytical and debugging skills, with the ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams.
Experience developing embedded solutions in performance-critical environments.
