TECHNOLOGY NODES STUDY INTERN – FINFET VS FDSOI FOR FPGA DEVELOPMENT (w/m)

 

This 6-month internship focuses on a comparative analysis of FinFET and FDSOI technology nodes applied to FPGA development, a critical area in advanced semiconductor design.

You will explore how these two leading transistor architectures influence FPGA performance, power efficiency, and scalability at advanced nodes, working within the technical team.

 

YOUR MISSION :

Literature review of FinFET and FDSOI technologies, including their physical principles, design constraints, and industry adoption trends;

FPGA architecture study, identifying how technology choices impact logic density, routing complexity, and timing closure;

Simulation and benchmarking, using EDA tools to model FPGA implementations on both technology nodes and evaluate key metrics such as power, performance, and area (PPA);

Trade-off analysis, considering leakage, variability, cost, and manufacturability aspects;

Final report and presentation, summarizing findings and providing recommendations for FPGA design strategies in future technology nodes.

 

YOUR PROFILE :

Analytical mindset and ability to work independently;

Rigour and curiosity for advanced semiconductor technologies;

Ability to document and present your work clearly;

Good command of English, both written and spoken.

 

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE :

Education: Currently enrolled in a Master's program in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related field;

Strong knowledge of CMOS technology, digital design, and FPGA architecture;

Familiarity with EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens) and hardware description languages (VHDL/Verilog).

 

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

  • Contract type: Internship (6 months) — Full time
  • Location: On-site at Sèvres (92)
  • Package: internship allowance + internal benefits
  • Start date: Q1 or Q2 2027

Embedded Systems

Bridging the gap between silicon and software, the Embedded Systems team designs the low-level tools that make NanoXplore’s FPGAs truly usable and powerful. 


Their core mission : developing the main SDK (Software Development Kit), firmware, and all embedded components that enable seamless configuration, control, and integration of our devices. From bootloaders and drivers to board support packages and diagnostic tools, they ensure our chips speak the right language whether on a satellite, in a defense system, or in a test environment. Their work is foundational : without it, nothing runs. 


What sets them apart is their ability to think system-wide. They work closely with hardware teams and application engineers, adapt to evolving specs, and support real-world use cases with reliability and reactivity. 

They’re not just writing code : they’re building the ecosystem around our FPGAs.


Driven by curiosity and precision, it’s a team where autonomy meets collaboration, and where each line of code contributes to something bigger : making advanced microelectronics accessible and operational for the most demanding applications.
