Hardware Logic Designer

OUR HIRING PROCESS:

• We will review your application against our job requirements. We do not employ machine learning technologies during this phase as we believe every human deserves attention from another human. We do not think machines can evaluate your application quite like our seasoned recruiting professionals—every person is unique. We promise to give your candidacy a fair and detailed assessment.
• We may then invite you to submit a video interview for the review of the hiring manager. This video interview is often followed by a test or short project that allows us to determine whether you will be a good fit for the team.
• At this point, we will invite you to interview with our hiring manager and/or the interview team. Please note: We do not conduct interviews via text message, Telegram, etc. and we never hire anyone into our organization without having met you face-to-face (or via Zoom). You will be invited to come to a live meeting or Zoom, where you will meet our INFUSE team.
• From there on, it’s decision time! If you are still excited to join INFUSE and we like you as much, we will have a conversation about your offer. We do not make offers without giving you the opportunity to speak with us live. After all, we consider our team members our family, and we want you to feel comfortable and welcomed.

About Us:

FortifyIQ is an exciting cyber security start-up company based in the US, founded 4 years ago by a successful entrepreneur. The FortifyIQ team has a vast knowledge of software and hardware development, cryptography algorithms, semiconductors, and cutting-edge hardware hacking methods.

At FortifyIQ, our mission is to advance maximum security against side-channel attacks across the entire computing spectrum. We accomplish this by offering pre-silicon evaluation tools built to test hardware designs against Differential Power Analysis and Fault Injection attacks, and by providing side-channel attack-resistant IP cores.

We offer a suite of software tools for chip designers and system integrators, allowing them to select ICs and design their own side-channel attack-resistant cryptographic IP cores—all without having to produce chips in silicon, or as FPGAs. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality products and services to our clients around the world. We are currently looking for a talented HW Logic Designer to join our dynamic team.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated HW Logic Designer to join our hardware development team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in digital logic design, microarchitecture, and RTL coding. Experience with hardware description languages and FPGA/ASIC design processes is essential. Additionally, the candidate will be responsible for complex cryptographic IP block development and the implementation of patent-pending DPA countermeasures across front-end design—including microarchitecture specification, RTL code development, and verification. If you are passionate about hardware design and enjoy working in a fast-paced, innovative environment, we would like to meet you.

 Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 4–5 years of hands-on experience in logic design, microarchitecture, and RTL coding in Verilog.
• Proven experience with VCS, Verdi, and Spyglass—or similar tools.
• Experience with FPGA design and implementation, including synthesis, place, and route.
• Familiarity with ASIC design and/or verification methodologies.
• Ability to write detailed, clear microarchitecture and verification reports
• Familiarity with CAD for ASIC design (Synopsys or Cadence). 
• Familiarity with formal verification between RTL and Netlist. 
• Familiarity with modern cryptography. 
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks effectively.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with hardware simulation and verification tools (ModelSim, QuestaSim, etc.).
• Knowledge of high-speed interface protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, etc.).
• Understanding of SystemVerilog and UVM for verification.
• Experience with scripting languages (Python, Tcl, etc.) for automation.
• Knowledge and experience in cryptographic algorithms and countermeasure techniques such as Differential Power Analysis (DPA).

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and verify digital logic circuits and systems.
• Develop and maintain hardware description language (HDL) code, with a primary focus on Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Work on FPGA/ASIC design, synthesis, and verification, including hands-on RTL coding.
• Complex cryptographic IP block development and the implementation of patent-pending DPA countermeasures across front-end design—including microarchitecture specification, RTL code development, and verification.
• Collaborate with software, hardware and verification engineers in design integration and testing.
• Perform timing power, performance, area analysis, and optimization to meet requirements.
• Participate in design, and code reviews, and provide to provide constructive feedback.
• Document design specifications, and interfaces.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies related to digital logic design.

What We Offer You:

• Competitive compensation, based on your experience and skills. Payments are made monthly via bank transfer/Payoneer/PayPal, according to invoices. 
• Remote work model. 
• Your work schedule will be Monday to Friday, from 10:00 to 19:00 EEST (including a one-hour break). 
• Opportunities for career growth and development. 
• Exposure to modern approaches and tools to solve business problems.
