We are looking for a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Digital Design Engineer to support our Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics (HAA) Research Centre. The FPGA Digital Design Engineer would be someone who shares our core values of Integrity, Excellence, Respect and Creativity.  Help bring research to life and drive your career forward with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), Canada’s largest research and technology organization.

The Astronomy Technology Directorate (ATD) at NRC’s HAA Research Centre is engaged in the development of leading-edge instrumentation for some of the world’s largest observatories. The ATD currently requires an FPGA Digital Design Engineer to develop leading-edge designs which implement Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to meet high-performance signal processing requirements.  Additionally, the FPGA Digital Design Engineer will participate in configuration and performance testing of programmable 400G network switches, in the context of FPGA-to-FPGA and host processor-to-processor high- throughput communications.

A significant effort is currently underway by the ATD to deliver a correlator for a major upgrade of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope in Chile. The overall upgrade project is referred to as the ALMA Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade (WSU). The correlator design uses current-generation FPGA technologies for signal processing along with 400Gbps Ethernet switches to facilitate data distribution through the correlator system. The work of the FPGA digital design engineer is to develop, test, and support integration of the FPGA designs required to implement the correlator. The work will also require configuration of 400Gbps Ethernet switches in order to test the interconnection of multiple FPGAs.

The successful candidate will primarily undertake FPGA engineering tasks including design documentation, RTL development, testbench development, static timing analysis, SEU analysis, power analysis, and integration testing. FPGA development will be done primarily using Very High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL), simulated using Questa/Modelsim, and synthesized using Intel Quartus Prime Pro. Other tools/environments may include C/C++ high-level synthesis (HLS), SystemVerilog, MATLAB/Simulink, or Xilinx Vivado/HLS. Appropriate documentation must be developed by the successful candidate and therefore professional writing skills are essential. The candidate will be working within the context of an international team, and so the ability to engage other international team members in an appropriate manner for mutual success is important.

– Working knowledge of DSP algorithms and fundamental concepts: coherent systems, analog to digital conversion, Nyquist sampling theorem, quantization effects, FFTs, FIR filters, complex correlation, and pipelining effects.
– Demonstrated ability to use logic simulation tools to develop and test FPGA designs, with development of self-checking test benches.  Must have knowledge and ability to run Questa/Modelsim (or equivalent) and interpret results to ensure correctness of design.
– Demonstrable expert technical writing ability.

Considered an asset:

Understands system-level issues, including system-level architecture, racks/boards, fiber connectivity, power and cooling, reliability, and fault detection/tracing.
