Intern Engineering (6 months)
The Position
This internship focuses on leveraging FPGAs for high-speed, real-time image processing, utilizing the productivity benefits of High-Level Synthesis (HLS).
Project Objectives:
Algorithm Development: Design and optimize a specific image processing using C++. The algorithms will be based on existing models (VHDL, Matlab or python).
HLS Implementation & Optimization: Use a proprietary HLS tool (like Xilinx Vitis HLS) to transform the C++ algorithm into efficient Register-Transfer Level (RTL) hardware code. Apply HLS pragmas (directives) for optimization to meet real-time performance constraints.
Real-Time System Integration: Implement the generated IP core onto an FPGA board equipped with an image sensor interface and an external memory (DDR). The core must process the video stream pixel-by-pixel, line-by-line to achieve real-time performance.
Validation and Performance Evaluation: Validate the functionality by displaying the processed image output. Measure key performance metrics like throughput (frames per second) and latency (processing delay).
Your Profile
Bachelor or Master in Electrical or Software Engineering
Basic knowledge of FPGA, digital hardware and VHDL is required
Knowledge of embedded systems and relevant lab experience is a plus
Rigorous and organized
Hands-on attitude and team spirit
Curiosity and willingness to learn
French with good English level
