- 5-8 years in FPGA implementation, ASIC design, ASIC verification, FPGA prototyping, or applications engineering.
- Solid experience with FPGA synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure using Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, or similar tools.
- Working knowledge of SystemVerilog, RTL design, and verification concepts.
- Hands-on experience with at least one interface IP family such as PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, USB, or AXI.
- Scripting ability in Tcl, Python, or shell for automation and flow customization.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with Synopsys HAPS, ProtoCompiler, or other FPGA-based prototyping platforms is a strong plus.
- Ability to look at a customer's partitioning result and spot potential issues.
- Skill in asking specific questions to narrow down technical problems.
- Comfort working with incomplete information and figuring out necessary details.
- Ability to explain technical problems clearly to customer engineers.
- Methodical approach to troubleshooting without panicking.
- Quick learner, not afraid to investigate unfamiliar design areas or toolflows.
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
