  • Exascale Supercomputers FPGA Engineers (RE4)

    Context And Mission

    BSC is looking for talented and motivated professionals with expertise in FPGA development and IP integration for a European HPC accelerator. The design is based on a RISC-V architecture. This is a project to build an FPGA-based emulator for an energy efficient Exascale system.

     

    Key Duties

    Design and develop a high-performance emulation platform targeting a future Exascale Supercomputer.
    Translate/target ASIC RTL for a multi-FPGA environment.
    Design integration, logic synthesis and design optimization for area, timing and power.
    Developing front-end methodologies and tool flows.
    You will collaborate closely with design and verification engineers in active projects and perform hands-on design, writing RTL.
    Participate in system bring-up and testing.
