Senior/Principal Hardware Designer of Processors & Accelerators

We at Codasip are happy to announce we are growing our HW Design teams with professional enthusiasts. If you want to join a team where each clock cycle matters, where each signal toggles for good reasons, and where there are always ideas to do better, faster, and safer, be welcome. We are expanding our Portfolio of processor soft IPs and accelerators IPs to address the increasing demand for performance at low power in the RISC-V ecosystem.

What is unique at Codasip is our approach to design to speed up the development and leverage HW & SW co-design: we use our increasingly adopted architecture description language CodAL.

Together with our well-organized and highly collaborative international teams, located in the Czech Republic, the UK, Germany, France, Greece and Spain, you will be responsible for the development of the core or of the accelerator microarchitecture.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Engineering degree or equivalent
• Good knowledge of modern CPU architectures (ideally RISC-V) and micro-architectures, or alternatively track of records in the design of complex pipelined designs.
• Advanced knowledge of at least one Hardware Description Language (preferably – Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• Sharp understanding of physical implications when designing at a higher level of abstraction (digital design synthesis and implementation flow).
• Skills to design and optimize a module around a given PPA point.
• Practical expertise in versioning tools (preferably git)
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Shell, Python, Tcl)
• Practical usage of Linux
• Proficiency in digital design synthesis and implementation flow
• Communicative English. Our team is highly distributed, so English is the main language
