Staff Hardware Design Engineer

Job description

Job Description

This position provides an interesting and innovative role where you will be involved in the micro-architectural definition, design and optimization of advanced computer vision solutions and neural network processors. You will work with the architecture and development teams in the creation of faster, smaller, more robust and power-efficient hardware.

This is a demanding hands-on technical role. You will work as part of a world class engineering team employing the latest design and verification techniques to develop best-in-class IP that is optimised for low power and high performance.

Successful candidates will display interest in machine learning, neural networks and GPU computing, along with a high degree of technical creativity. You will be expected to have a wide breadth of design knowledge and experience of developing/improving methodologies and working practices.

Furthermore, candidates will demonstrate specialist skills in low power micro architecture definition and RTL implementation, including hands-on experience using state of the art tools and techniques in complex IP development projects.

As a hardware designer you will be responsible for producing synthesizable RTL, through the understanding of C or Matlab algorithm design.
