FPGA Internship 2469 views32 applications

In our team we develop modern FPGA systems composed of dedicated programmable logic IP cores as well as the open source software controlling them. We incorporate best practices from the software world into the FPGA development process. We work with the latest FPGA chips (like the UltraScale+ MPSoC) and programming languages (e.g. Chisel).

As an intern you will actively contribute to R&D projects related to a wide variety of open FPGA designs. You will work with senior members of staff to design, develop, test, and verify FPGA designs. To work on your everyday tasks you will use hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL and use modern hardware design languages (e.g. Chisel) or tools (Migen). Together with your team you will be responsible for integrating processing systems including dedicated IP cores, CPUs and system buses. Finally, you will cooperate with your team members to develop software – from bare metal firmware, through operating system drivers up to user space applications interacting with the FPGA logic.

Requirements:

• Full-time students of electronics, telecommunication, computer science or related fields
• Availability for an intensive, 2-month summer program (ca. 300 hours in total) or for a more flexible program throughout the academic year (min. 20 hours/week, ca. 200 hours in total)
• experience in C/C++
• Understanding or willingness to learn about computer architecture
• knowledge of at least one hardware description language (e.g. Verilog, VHDL)
• Basic knowledge of communication interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, and bus interface protocols like TileLink, WishBone, AXI etc.
• Passion for open source projects
• Readiness for everyday work in Linux
• Ability to quickly adopt new technologies
• Methodical and detail-oriented approach
• Teamwork and willingness to learn from others
• Good command of English
