ASIC and FPGA design services with embedded software and DevOps
BTA Design Services is a semiconductor design consultancy focused on ASIC, FPGA, and custom IP development for tier-1 customers. The tech stack reflects deep specialization in hardware design—Verilog, SystemVerilog, Synopsys, Cadence, and Vivado/Quartus dominate, paired with GPU and modern processor architectures (ARM, RISC-V). Current project work spans AI/HPC SoCs, 4G/5G radio IP blocks, and full-flow backend implementation (netlist to GDSII), indicating engagement with complex, high-stakes silicon projects. Hiring remains senior-engineer focused across a small engineering roster, constrained by competition for specialized technical talent.
BTA Design Services provides turnkey and augmented ASIC/FPGA design, verification, and IP development to semiconductor and systems companies. Established in 2015 as a spin-out from BTAI (founded 2002), the company operates from Ottawa with 51–200 employees, all currently hired in Canada. The firm operates across three service lines: silicon design and verification (Verilog, SystemVerilog, Synopsys/Cadence tools), custom IP blocks (PCIe, SERDES, Ethernet, SONET, InfiniBand), and embedded software and DevOps. Active engagements include AI/HPC system-on-chip projects, 4G/5G radio unit design and validation, and full-flow ASIC implementation from netlist through GDSII tapeout.
Hardware design tools (Vivado, Quartus, Synopsys, Cadence, Calibre), languages (Verilog, SystemVerilog, MATLAB/Simulink), and IP/protocol expertise (PCIe, SERDES, Ethernet, SONET, InfiniBand, ARM, RISC-V, AXI). Git for version control.
AI/HPC SoCs, 4G/5G radio unit IP blocks, system-level radio validation, backend ASIC implementation (netlist to GDSII), timing closure, and large ASIC verification with GPU and AI processors.
