Prototypage & Emulation Engineer

Are you excited by the challenge of transforming complex designs into working silicon? Join our team as an Prototypage / Emulation Engineer and help shape our next generation of our FPGA and SoC FPGA products !

YOUR MISSION:

SoC Prototyping & Migration

• Perform the migration of NanoXplore SoC FPGAs onto various prototyping platforms.
• Select and connect VIPs to test advanced NanoXplore product features (PCIe, Ethernet, etc.).
• Integrate, set up, and debug standard interfaces: UART, JTAG, I2C, USB, Ethernet, PCIe, DDR, etc.
• Act as the interface between RTL and embedded software teams to facilitate understanding and problem resolution.
• Support RTL and embedded software teams in debugging products on platform.
• Contribute to the implementation of synthesizable models using SystemVerilog or VHDL within FPGA flows.
• Contribute to the development of NanoXplore virtual models and platforms in SystemC.
• Participate in the setup and continuous improvement of prototyping and emulation environments.

YOUR PERSONAL QUALITIES:

• Autonomy and organisational skills in managing prototyping activities.
• Excellent communication skills, written and spoken, for effective collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong team spirit and ability to adapt quickly to complex technical environments.
• Fast learner with genuine technical curiosity and interest in state-of-the-art SoC architectures.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

Education

• Master's degree or equivalent in Electronics, Microelectronics, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
• Experience in the design or architecture of complex SoC/ASIC systems, including processors (ARM), cache coherency, SMMU, and virtualisation (system, memory, interrupts).
• Knowledge of major IPs: internal and external memories (DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR5, eMMC, TCM, QSPI), peripherals (PCIe, GbEthernet, USB, High Speed Links), and hardware security (boot, life cycle, cryptography).
• Good command of system features: trace, debug, and error management.

Technical Skills

• Experience with FPGA flows and the implementation of synthesizable models in SystemVerilog or VHDL.
• C/C++ and SystemC development for virtual platform modelling.
• Python and Tcl scripting for prototyping task automation.
• Experience integrating and debugging standard interfaces: UART, JTAG, I2C, USB, Ethernet, PCIe, DDR.

What we offer:

• A full time & permanent contract (CDI) located in one of our 3 bases in Paris, Montpellier, or Grenoble.
• A salary according to profile & experience + internal benefits
