The Eclipse Foundation Europe GmbH is hiring an HW Verification Engineer for its OpenHW Foundation. Working as a member of the Eclipse Research Team, the candidate will work to verify at industrial-grade open-source IPs based on RISC-V such as (but not limited to):

Lock-step execution of dual-core systems based on CVA6
Cache-coherency blocks
Hypervisor ISA Extensions
IO Memory-Management Units
Advanced Interrupt Architecture

Through the OpenHW Foundation, we are recruiting for the role of HW Verification Engineer that will primarily contribute to the EU Rigoletto and/or Tristan project for the next 3 years. The Rigoletto project is an EU funded project that aims to create a RISC-V-based automotive hardware platform strongly linked with the formation of an open source, software-defined vehicle ecosystem led by European automotive manufacturers and suppliers. The project aligns with the high-level goal of EU Chips Joint Undertaking and of the industry-led Vehicle of the Future initiative.

The project will address SW to EDA tools, all the way to RTL components and demonstrators, ensuring a complete stack based on RISC-V. RIGOLETTO includes several work packages that will cover 1) requirements collections of the European market needs for Automotive Control- and Performance oriented CPUs; 2) architectural explorations and concept assessments for the different hardware components of the platform; 3-4) development and verification of industrial-grade CPUs and SoC building blocks defined in (1); 5) demonstration and validation of the main features of the automotive computing platform as its main computing components; 6-7) development of a RISC-V automotive ecosystem and supply-chain as well as commercial and licensing frameworks; 8) dissemination and exploitation.

A major focus for Rigoletto is to provide European digital sovereignty in the automotive market sector.

The Eclipse Foundation, and in particular, the OpenHW Foundation, provides industrial-grade open-source IPs thanks to its verification effort.

We are looking for a Hardware Verification Engineer who extends the Eclipse Foundation OpenHW Foundation and European ecosystem.

Location of the role:
You must be a resident of Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, or Germany

In this role, you will:

Use SystemVerilog and UVM to create and extend our testbenches: you should know how to verify IPs with random instructions
Use GitHub to integrate and maintain everything open-source on GitHub under core-v-verif
Verify CPUs and ISA extensions based on RISC-V
Verify peripherals such as Advance Interrupt Architectures and IO MMU
Verify cache-coherency and cache components
Verify dual-core lock-step cache-coherent RISC-V systems
Integrate and extend existing CPUs to support extra features
Support the specific initiatives of the OpenHW Technical Working Group to drive interest, participation, and adoption beyond just the Rigoletto project
Support the broader objectives of the Eclipse Foundation’s European research team, including
- Lead the activities of the Eclipse Foundation to support the European research ecosystem.
- Initiate and organize dissemination and community-building activities for the projects, leveraging existing Eclipse Foundation initiatives and assets
- Facilitate project participation at events such as conferences to benefit the projects
- Enable dissemination through web assets, newsletters and Eclipse-related social media
- Complete regular reporting (workload and expenses) as required by the EU processes
- Support research project developers in working with the Eclipse Development Process (EDP) and open source and open hardware best practices
- Represent the Eclipse Foundation and OpenHW Europe at research project meetings and reviews
- Encourage synergies among the EU projects and Eclipse Foundation members
- Work fully remotely in a large and global team

To accomplish the mission above, you should:

Be very confident with SystemVerilog and UVM for use with coverage-driven, constrained-random verification strategies.
Have a working knowledge of:

Linux, Make, and Python
Computer architectures of general-purpose CPUs
Peripherals, bus protocols, interrupt controllers, MMUs
Caches, coherency, and multicore systems
Privilege RISC-V specifications
A commercial SystemVerilog simulator and associated debug and coverage tools
Familiarity with Formal Verification, RTL design, RISC-V ISA, and Git would also be an asset

Qualifications

At least a Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in EE or CS with 5+ years of experience
Fluent in English (spoken and written)

We offer highly competitive compensation along with a comprehensive benefits package. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those to be interviewed will be contacted. For more information about Eclipse Foundation, please visit our website at https://eclipse.org/
