Job description
At Swave, we are disrupting the display market with our revolutionary Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) technology —the Holy Grail of AR display tech. To visualize these holograms instantly, a Holographic Processing Unit (HPU), running advanced Computer-Generated Holography (CGH) methods, drives the display. But a brilliant algorithm is only as good as the silicon it runs on. As our Fixed-Point Algorithm Engineer , you are the vital architect bridging the gap between high-level prototyping and verified hardware. You sit at the high-stakes intersection of theoretical mathematics and physical implementation. You are the person who looks at a complex, floating-point MATLAB prototype and sees the path to a lean, bit-true model in C or MATLAB that drives our hardware solution toward FPGA verification in a structured and streamlined manner. You don’t just "forward-translate" code; you "travel backwards", too. Armed with a deep understanding of hardware constraints, you leverage your algorithmic insights to challenge and refine the designs themselves. Your goal is to deliver breathtaking holographic quality while optimizing for every square millimeter and milliwatt, ensuring we meet chal...
