TL;DR · FPGA Engineer IV

FPGA Engineer IV As an FPGA Engineer IV within the FPGA development and systems engineering team, you will design, implement, and test complex FPGAs used with system on chip and heterogeneous processing architectures. You will develop IP cores and software from the ground up to leverage processor and programmable logic combinations while developing advanced controls and AI/ML algorithms at the processing edge. Your daily work involves troubleshooting complex software and programmable logic problems, performing timing analysis, and providing technical mentorship to junior engineers. You will utilize the Xilinx toolset, RTL, VHDL, High Level Synthesis, TCL, and Python in a Linux environment. The role addresses critical challenges in semiconductor equipment components and devices, focusing on reliability and scaling for advanced manufacturing technologies while translating internal customer requirements into optimized design solutions within specific technology platform constraints.

What you'll do

  • Design, prototype, develop, and debug software solutions for semiconductor equipment components and devices.
  • Develop advanced control systems and AI/ML algorithms at the processing edge using FPGA technology.
  • Design and test complex FPGAs used with system on chip and heterogeneous processing architectures.
  • Develop IP cores and software from the ground up to leverage processor and programmable logic combinations.
  • Troubleshoot complex software problems, including FPGA timing analysis and closure techniques.
  • Translate internal customer requirements into technical design specifications for global engineering teams.
  • Provide risk assessments and analyze alternative solution paths for complex technical challenges.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide status updates to stakeholders on project progress.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electronics, Electrical, or Instrumentation.
  • 10+ years of experience in product development.
  • Proficiency with Xilinx (AMD) Toolset and FPGA for IC embedded heterogeneous processing architectures.
  • Experience with RTL, VHDL, and High Level Synthesis.
  • Skill in TCL and Python script development within a Linux environment.
  • Familiarity with Agile CICD DevOps and development automation.
  • Ability to develop real-time embedded C/C++ firmware and use Mathworks Toolset (HDL Coder).
  • Knowledge of signal processing theory, algorithms, and implementation techniques.
