TL;DR · FPGA Engineer IV

The FPGA Engineer IV joins the embedded systems architecture team to develop advanced controls and AI/ML algorithms at the processing edge. This role involves designing, implementing, and testing complex FPGAs used with system on chip and heterogeneous processing architectures, with a specific focus on reliability and scaling. You will develop IP cores and software from the ground up, troubleshooting programmable logic problems including timing analysis and closure techniques. Key technologies include the Xilinx toolset, RTL, VHDL, and High Level Synthesis. You must also utilize TCL and Python for scripting in Linux environments. The work involves translating internal customer requirements into technical designs to solve high-value problems within semiconductor equipment components and devices, ensuring functionality across various product and technology platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design, prototype, develop, and debug software solutions for semiconductor equipment components and devices.
  • Develop advanced controls and AI/ML algorithms for processing at the edge.
  • Design and test complex FPGAs used with system-on-chip and heterogeneous processing architectures.
  • Develop IP cores and software from the ground up to utilize processors and programmable logic.
  • Troubleshoot complex software and programmable logic problems, including FPGA timing analysis and closure.
  • Translate internal customer requirements into technical design requirements and optimized solutions.
  • Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and provide risk assessments for alternate solution paths.
  • Develop software documentation, test procedures, and scripts using TCL and Python in a Linux environment.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electronics, Electrical, or Instrumentation.
  • 10+ years of experience in product development.
  • Skilled in Xilinx (AMD) Toolset, specifically Xilinx FPGAs for IC embedded heterogeneous processing architectures.
  • RTL and VHDL experience.
  • Skilled in TCL and Python script development in a Linux environment.
  • Familiar with Agile CICD DevOps and development automation.
  • Strong background in industrial automation software (preferred).
  • Develop and maintain real-time embedded C/C++ firmware (preferred).
