Reporting to the manager of Hardware/FPGA research and development, your task will be to define and design FPGA for telecommunication and datacom products. More specifically, you will have to code in VHDL, do the simulation and synthesize. Finally, you will have to test FPGA components to make sure they will properly integrate (hardware and software) in the product.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Intimate knowledge of telecommunications (PDH, SONET/SDH) and datacom (Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ATM, etc.) protocols;
• Excellent knowledge of VDHL, Perl and Tcl;
• Excellent knowledge of simulation (Modelsim) and synthesis tools (Altera and Xilinx);
• Knowledge of high speed interface between FPGA and hardware (Serdes, DDR, PCIe, etc.);
• Basic knowledge of process and tools required during the hardware design phases;
• Knowledge of constraints associated with hardware design;
• Practical knowledge of advanced verification methodologies (SystemVerilog, SystemC) an asset.

 COMPETENCIES REQUIREMENTS

• Passionate about his/her work and about high-technology in general;
• Capable to take full ownership of the project assigned to him/her;
• “Can-Do” attitude and capable to “do what it takes” to achieve objectives;
• Team player capable to share with, as well as to learn from his/her coworkers;
• Capable to propose creative solution to the problems encountered;
• Autonomous and efficient with continuous improvement of his/her skills and work methods;
• Flexible with is approach with coworkers and projects.

ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or electronics, or equivalent;
• Experience:  More than 5 years in related FPGA design field
• Language requirements: French, English (functional)
