Siemens EDA, is looking for a C++ Software Engineer – RTL Design and Synthesis (d/m/f) to be

based in Munich, Germany who is required to understand, design and implement algorithm-centric solutions in the high-level synthesis. The role is for industry leading high level synthesis tool – Catapult-C which takes ANSI C/C++ and SystemC inputs and generates register transfer level (RTL) code targeted to FPGAs and ASICs.  

Catapult–C tool is used by top hardware design companies for designing cutting edge semiconductor chip design in automotive/machine learning/wireless design/video and image processing etc.  

We are looking for a collaborator to help us improving our IP catalog. The ideal candidate will focus on the Qofr quality of the IPs delivered with Catapult tool.  

As part of the core synthesis team; you will: 

• help our IP designer to design optimal IPs. 
• identify the optimizations required to achieve best Qofr. 
• contribute to the implementation of those optimizations. 

These are exciting times in our space - we are growing fast and working on ambitious new initiatives.
