Senior Software Engineer in Catapult High Level Synthesis

ich 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 for working in our back-end synthesis engineering team.

This is a green field opportunity to create an industry first solution targeting incremental optimizations in high level synthesis. This key technology piece will create a long-lasting impact on how digital design for future chips will be done at higher abstraction.

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

In the role you will work on cutting edge research and complex algorithmic design problems for Catapult - C.
