We’re looking for a Senior FPGA/Hardware Design Engineer to join us in our Brno office as part of the platforms team. The platform team designs FPGA systems based around Codasip’s RISC-V cores and supporting IP such as security IP and system peripherals.
These platforms are used for customer evaluation/demonstration, internal prototyping and benchmarking. You will be working in a mixed skilled team including FPGA, software and verification engineers across multiple offices.
The role demands flexibility and lateral thinking. You will be working on both short-term customer-driven projects, as well as longer-term strategic Codasip products. The scope of the work is broad, varied, and technically challenging.
While Codasip is headquartered in Europe, our approach and culture are typical of Silicon Valley, meaning that we value prudent risk-taking and “out of the box” thinking. We are a well-funded scaling-up company poised for dynamic growth based on our leading-edge product portfolio. RISC-V is a revolutionary technology in the semiconductor industry. This role will have a high impact and visibility in Codasip and in the growing RISC-V world.
The job duties consist of but are not limited to:
- Responsible for the development of the RISC-V-based FPGA Platforms
- FPGA System Integration, including synthesis and place and run
- FPGA prototyping and bringing up of complete systems
- IP peripheral design
- Working closely with verification/validation and embedded software engineers to solve technical challenges
The following skills are essential to perform the job duties:
- At least 3 years Experience of FPGA development flows
- Demonstrable experience in RTL design in either Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL
- Prototyping or product experience using FPGAs
- Pro-active problem solver, able to work individually or as a team member
- Practical expertise in versioning tools (preferably git)
- Ability to work with compiler/software components
- Practical usage of Linux
The following skills and experience are nice to have:
- AMD-Xilinx FPGA experience
- embedded software experience (C or Linux)
- Experience with RISC-V processors
- Active interest in the field and self-education
- Knowledge of modern verification techniques

What We Do
Codasip is a processor solutions company which helps developers to differentiate their products. We are Europe’s leading RISC-V company with a global presence. Billions of chips already use our technology.
In today’s technology market, differentiation is everything. The difference between success and failure. And, in chip design, this difference is quite literally wafer thin. With increasing transistor costs, your developers can no longer rely on semiconductor scaling and legacy processors to achieve your goals. The only way forward is to implement custom compute with designs tailored to your applications.
We deliver custom compute through the combination of the open RISC-V ISA, Codasip Studio processor design automation and high-quality processor IP. Our innovative approach lets you easily customize and differentiate your designs. You can develop high-performing, and game-changing products that are truly transformational.
