The role is for industry leading high level synthesis tool - Catapult-C which takes ANSI C/C++ and SystemC inputs and generates register transfer level (RTL) code targeted to FPGAs and ASICs.

Catapult-C tool is used by top hardware design companies for designing cutting edge semiconductor chip design in automotive/machine learning/wireless design/video and image processing etc.

These are exciting times in our space - we are growing fast and working on ambitious new initiatives. We are looking for passionate engineers to work in our back-end synthesis engineering team.

The role is a hybrid role located for our Munich or Grenoble office. For a really strong candidate with a relevant background, who is flexible to travel we can consider the option of a fully remote position.

This is a greenfield opportunity where you will be part of a core floating point team to define and create methodology for floating point based hardware design with High level synthesis.

In the role you will work on cutting edge research and complex problems developing frameworks for floating point generators, developing new Floating point IPs, Floating point based architectures in Catapult - C.
