Description

Xilinx is now part of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). 

At AMD, we push the boundaries of what is possible.  We believe in changing the world for the better by driving innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies – building blocks for gaming, immersive platforms, and the data center.

Developing great technology takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration, respect, and who will go the “extra mile” to achieve unthinkable results.  It takes people who have the passion and desire to disrupt the status quo, push boundaries, deliver innovation, and change the world.   If you have this type of passion, we invite you to take a look at the opportunities available to come join our team.

A talented software engineer is required to join the Packet Processing Solutions Group - an engineering team spanning sites in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Sweden. The team develops cutting edge products including:

1. Network search engine solutions

and

1. Compiler tools for generating packet processing designs

These products are aimed at making Data Centre Networking and Telecommunications solutions more effective. This is a highly strategic and important part of Xilinx’s business, targeting a set of customers that includes the most successful internet and cloud companies in the world.

The role involves the development of Drivers, Compilers, Behavioural Models and Code Development Tools, including all parts of the development flow from requirements to product deployment. The successful candidate will over time gain exposure to all these aspects of the role and will have enormous opportunities for learning and self-development. The position is likely to require some travel for visiting other Xilinx sites.
