FPGA Vision and Video Design Engineer

Job Description

Intel is looking for an outstanding engineer who can use FPGA hardware to accelerate video and vision processing algorithms. Algorithms will include very high resolution video manipulation functions and object detection/tracking functions based on traditional and machine learning Computer Vision libraries. FPGA algorithms will be developed using RTL design languages and high-level tools such as Open CL and integrated into new video/computer vision software development kits. These kits typically target Intel processors running Linux plus FPGA hardware. Applications include robotics, smart surveillance, smart factory, interactive whiteboards, digital signage and professional video systems. Work includes developing solutions with our customers and demonstrating next generation systems at sites around the world and at key trade shows. The role is based in High Wycombe, 40 minutes from central London and Oxford.
The Intel office is a welcoming, friendly environment offering large personalisable cube spaces with dedicated high specification PCs/laptops, multiple displays, and access to local and global compute farms. On-site you also have access to a subsidised restaurant, caf with Costa coffee, free hot and cold drinks, free gymnasium with daily classes, weekly badminton, indoor football, trail running and cycling activities.

Key responsibilities:
- Developing solutions for FPGA based 8K resolution video processing systems and embedded vision processing systems, using Intel processor + FPGA
- Identifying the benefits of processor + FPGA solutions compared to other architectures
- Collaborating with other Intel teams to develop best in class solutions
- Presenting these solutions to customers
- Developing and following a strong design process, enabling customers to meet Quality Management System standards
- Providing input to Intel's future architectures and products
