Hardware Engineer, FPGA & ASIC Development

Do you want to work hands-on with FPGA and ASIC development used in space? At Frontgrade Gaisler, you will work close to the hardware, taking designs from RTL to implemented and validated solutions in demanding environments.

We are looking for a Hardware Engineer with a strong focus on FPGA and ASIC development to join our experienced team in central Gothenburg.

What you will do

As a Hardware Engineer you will participate in the complete development process of system-on-chip designs based on our IP cores, from architectural design, through development and verification, to implementation and prototype validation. Your tasks will include:

• Development of RTL models of IP cores and system-on-chip designs using VHDL

• Verification and FPGA prototyping of designs

• Implementation in target technologies, including both ASIC and FPGA

• Validation and measurements on completed devices

• Technical support to customers and sales organization

Who we believe you are

You enjoy working close to the hardware and take pride in seeing designs function on real devices. You are structured, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in complex development flows.

We believe you have:

• A M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

• At least 2 years of experience in hardware development targeting FPGA and/or ASIC

• Experience in RTL design, verification, and implementation

• Strong skills in VHDL (or similar HDL)

It is a strong advantage if you have experience in:

• Working with FPGAs or ASICs and the associated EDA tools

• Hands-on experience from measurements and fault tracing on FPGA or ASIC-based designs

• Knowledge in computer architecture, microprocessor design, RISC-V, SPARC

• On-chip interconnects, such as AMBA AHB, AXI, CHI, and memory mapped IP cores and systems

Why join Frontgrade Gaisler?

• Work with advanced FPGA and ASIC solutions used in real space missions

• Long-term projects with high technical complexity and quality requirements

• Hybrid work model, up to two days per week remote

• Private health care insurance and regular health check-ups

• Annual wellness allowance of 5,000 SEK

• Central office location

About us

We are a world leader in embedded computer systems for harsh environments, with footprints in several parts of the solar system. We make a real difference when providing cutting edge products to support digital hardware design for mission critical solutions for space. Our customer base is worldwide in an exciting and growing market. When other companies say they "Think global, and Act local", we work on a much larger scale. What we develop is to be used in space and benefit humanity on Earth, thus we "Act local, but Think on a solar system scale”
