FPGA Logic Designer » EltasJobs

Algo-Logic Systems is seeking an experienced FPGA logic designer to implement next-generation CPU/FPGA hybrid systems for data centers, key-value stores, Internet of Things, accelerated finance, and other application domains.

Algo-Logic IP cores have been proven in real-time embedded systems and we are extending them to fulfill the needs of next-generation applications in other domains. We are seeking an experienced FPGA logic designer to implement continuously evolving logic on a variety of system architectures. In most cases this will be new functionality, not an incremental modernization that must maintain backward compatibility.

Algo-Logic FPGA based accelerators are implemented in both discrete PCI cards and cache-coherent tightly coupled CPU/FPGA hybrids, meaning the designs must support both a classical PCI interface (MMIO and interrupts) as well as modern cache-coherent interfaces (read-modify-write atomic operations). Experience with coherent memory models like IBM’s CAPI and Intel’s CCI-P/QPI are highly desirable.
