Depending on what you are selected to do, you will:

• Design complex digital systems in HDL and verify them
• Perform logical and physical synthesis with EDA tools for an advanced technology node
• Conduct VLSI design and physical verification
• Write design automation software to automatically generate optimized and valid digital designs in the SiLago framework
• Map algorithms and applications to the SiLago framework
