YOU NEED TO POSSESS THE FOLLOWING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS:

• Passion for electronics or embedded SW
• Experience with Hardware verification (VHDL/Verilog simulation, Formal or UVM)
• Knowledge of versioning tools (Git -preferred)
• Practical usage of Linux
• Software writing skills (C++ or Python preferred)
• Experience in Object-Oriented Programming
• Communicative English. Our team is highly distributed, so English is the main language
• Eagerness to think outside the box
• Self-organization and reliability

NICE-TO-HAVES:

• Desire to play a role in shaping the RISC-V world of tomorrow
• Knowledge of HDL languages (Verilog, VHDL, or System Verilog)
• DIY activities related to open-source software, home automation, robotics, or similar
• University degree in a related field (Microelectronics, HW design, Embedded SW, Robotics or similar)

HOW YOU CAN BE ENRICHED:

• Opportunity to work with RISC-V, computer architecture of the future
• Working on innovative IoT processors and unique processor optimization technology
• Participation in the whole development process from analysis to deployment
• Opportunity to collaborate with experienced developers located in the UK, France, Greece, Germany, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Italy and the Czech Republic
• Learn and enhance our verification methodologies, using combinations of assertions, random instruction stream generators, online and offline checkers, best-in-class formal tools, various coverage metrics, architecture compliance testing, etc.
