Hardware Engineer

Do you want to work hands-on with FPGA and ASIC development while designing processor and peripheral IP cores used in space and other safety-critical systems? At Frontgrade Gaisler, you will work close to the hardware, contributing to advanced system-on-chip solutions used in demanding environments for years to come.

We are looking for a Hardware Engineer with a strong interest in RTL 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, development and verification, to implementation and prototype validation.

Your responsibilities will include:

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

• Verification of designs and IP cores through simulation using VHDL and/or SystemVerilog

• FPGA prototyping and hardware validation of designs

• Implementation in target technologies, including both ASIC and FPGA

• Maintenance and development of our IP core portfolio and supporting infrastructure

• Validation, testing and measurements on completed devices

• Creation of clear and comprehensive technical documentation

• Providing technical support to customers and the sales organization

Who we believe you are

You enjoy working close to the architecture and care about clean, robust, and reusable design. You like diving deep into technical details and understanding how your work fits into larger systems.

We believe you have:

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

• At least 3 years of experience in RTL design and verification

• Strong skills in VHDL (or a similar HDL)

• The ability to write basic embedded software in C

• Experience using scripting languages such as TCL or Python

It is a strong advantage if you have experience with:

• System-on-chip design centered around on-chip buses such as AMBA AHB or AXI

• Computer architecture, microprocessor design, RISC-V, SPARC

• Hands-on lab work with hardware equipment

Why join Frontgrade Gaisler?

• Work with advanced hardware solutions used in real space missions

• Long-term, technically deep projects with high 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 5000 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”
