Looking for a great opportunity with a great team, contributing to open-source and special-purpose CAD tools for FPGAs? Join us and help develop Torc, while working on projects spanning autonomous hardware, hardware security, and hardware trust. Strong software skills a must. If you're a code and algorithm superstar but weak on FPGAs, talk to me anyhow. Questions can be directed to Neil Steiner. These positions are in Arlington, VA.
The ISI Computational Science and Technology division is looking to extend the world-class capabilities of its Reconfigurable Computing Group on current and future contracts. ISI is seeking accomplished individuals to contribute to state-of-the-art research and development projects in the areas of FPGA CAD tool design, autonomous computing systems, partial runtime reconfiguration, and unconventional use of FPGAs.
The Computer Scientist position will make major differentiating contributions to the development and application of embedded FPGA CAD tools. Expected work includes large sponsored research projects that target real commercial devices rather than academic creations.
Position Specific Job Qualifications:
- Evidence of publication and innovation within the configurable computing community.
- Expert-level understanding of CAD algorithms, including synthesis, partitioning, mapping, placing, and routing.
- Experience implementing at least one of the above CAD algorithms in software.
- Five years of strong C++ development experience, including demonstrable contributions to large-scale C++ projects. Commercial or open-source development experience a plus.
- Three years of experience designing, developing, implementing, and debugging firmware for FPGAs, including Xilinx Virtex4 or later architectures. Altera also desirable.
- Expert-level experience with Xilinx or Altera implementation tools.
- Proficiency in hardware development in VHDL or Verilog, or SystemC or SystemVerilog.
- Experience with Torc, ABC, VPR, VTR, RapidSmith, GoAhead, or similar tools a plus.
Applicants selected for this position will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. According to U.S. government restrictions, only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
