Axiowave Networks Work Values

Daily Duties at Axiowave Networks:

Defined inter-chip communication protocols. Contributed to the Quality-of-Service (QoS) specification. Lead the microarchitecture, design, verification and testing for 1 FPGA design. Created the microarchitecture for key components of 2 other FPGAs. Designed C++ functional models for the 3 FPGAs on the Switch Card as well as the full Switch Card. Demonstrated the working FPGA designs in the lab. Received 1 patent. Designed data formats and communication protocols between the Ingress Traffic Manager (ITM) and Address Generator (AG), ITM and Distribution Chip (DC), and Line Card and ITM. Designed the ITM data formatting, address handling and data ordering and forwarding algorithms. Designed, debugged, synthesized, floorplanned and timed the ITM Verilog. Wrote tests in Perl to verify the ITM RTL. Targeted the ITM for a Xilinx Virtex-2 6000 FPGA at 125 MHz. Designed data flow algorithms for the ETM bandwidth manager and scheduler blocks. Wrote C++ models of the QoS system and contributed tweaks to the specification. Designed C++ models of the ITM, ETM and DC chips, and the Switch Card. Wrote tests in Perl to verify the C++ models. Fixed bugs in the processor command parser FPGA (BIF) so it would work in the lab. Created a specification language for programmable registers and software-accessible memories. Implemented a language parser in Perl that generated source code and documentation.

What they like about Axiowave Networks:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
